Leading Regional Law Firm · Insolvency - Solicitor / Associate / Senior Associate · North West
We are acting on behalf of a well-regarded regional law firm with a strong and growing Insolvency & Restructuring practice. The team is known for delivering commercial, pragmatic advice across the full spectrum of insolvency and restructuring work — from pre-insolvency advisory through to complex litigation — and benefits from the rare distinction of having dual-qualified legal and insolvency practitioners with Higher Rights of Audience in its ranks.
This is a firm with a genuinely people-focused culture, sensible billing expectations, and a reputation for high-quality work that stands comparison with larger regional and national practices.
Our client is looking to recruit at Solicitor, Associate or Senior Associate level to support the continued growth of the team. They are deliberately open on PQE and experience, and are keen to hear from a range of candidates, including:
You will work across a broad and varied caseload spanning three main areas. On the advisory side, you will advise financially distressed businesses and individuals on restructuring options, guide directors on their duties and personal liabilities, and support creditor negotiations. On the non-contentious insolvency side, you will work closely with corporate, commercial property and employment colleagues to advise insolvency practitioners and stakeholders on asset disposals and acquisitions, pre-packaged sales, TUPE and redundancy issues, and appointment-related documentation. On the contentious side, the team handles a wide range of insolvency litigation including claims against directors for antecedent transactions, asset recovery, freezing orders, winding-up and bankruptcy petitions, and director disqualification proceedings.
