Description
About The Role
Our market leading Restructuring and Insolvency team in Cheltenham is seeking a talented solicitor to join us.
Renowned for our collaborative environment and commitment to professional growth, we work with insolvency practitioners, financial institutions, company directors, and corporate clients across a broad spectrum of challenging assignments.
The team advises on both non-contentious and contentious matters, with a particular emphasis on high-value and complex insolvency cases. Our clients include leading insolvency practitioners, banks, private equity houses, and corporates.
A significant part of our practice involves contentious insolvency, where we act on behalf of office holders, creditors, and other stakeholders in a wide range of disputes and legal proceedings including investigations and asset tracing, bringing and defending claims relating to antecedent transactions, and advising clients in personal and corporate insolvency proceedings, including bankruptcy and winding up.
The role is primarily supporting the senior members of the Cheltenham team, but you will also have the opportunity to support the wider team.
Whilst direct Restructuring and Insolvency experience would be desirable, we are also open to those from transferrable backgrounds such as dispute resolution, commercial and corporate.
