Our expertise

We act for insolvency practitioners from firms of all sizes, as well as for turnaround advisers, institutional lenders, equity investors and management teams.

Our team advises banks, office holders and creditors on a wide range of issues including administrations, receiverships, company voluntary arrangements and liquidations.

Our business turnaround experts can also help businesses to avoid formal insolvency proceedings and provide advice to directors in troubling times.

We work for clients across a broad range of sectors including retail, sport, construction, automotive, manufacturing, real estate, technology and charities.

Our team of insolvency & restructuring experts are led by Rob Turner, recognised by The Legal 500 as a 'trusted advisor to administrators, liquidators, banks and asset-based lenders facing insolvency'. Also commended as 'Recommended Lawyers' on the team are experienced insolvency lawyer Jennifer Lockhart, Nikki Whittle whose 'broad practice' includes mergers, acquisitions and MBOs and Craig Arrowsmith who joined us in January 2025.

“The team is very approachable, down to earth and commercial. They take time to explain the legal position in plain English, but are happy to take commercial challenges from clients and flex that into their recommended approach to resolving disputes and ensuring debts are paid.”
