London
Partner, Financial Services Restructuring
I am a partner in our UK restructuring team, specialising in restructuring and insolvency in both an advisory capacity and as a qualified insolvency practitioner. I regularly work with creditors, directors and shareholders in respect of large listed corporates and mid-market private companies, with a particular focus on the financial services sector.
With over 16 years of professional restructuring and insolvency experience, I have worked across a board range of sectors in both domestic and cross-border restructurings. I have recent assignment experience in the financial services, business support services, construction, retail, logistics, manufacturing and TMT sectors.
I have also previously completed an external secondment with the special situations team in UK Government Investments. As part of this role I advised ministers and senior civil servants on matters of national interest, including the steel and oil and gas sectors.
Examples of my work include:
