Restructuring & insolvency

Job description

Our client, a Legal 500 ranked national firm with a substantial City office, is looking for an experienced Senior or Managing Associate to join its growing restructuring and insolvency team in London. The team sits within the firm's wider commercial disputes group, but this is very much a mixed practice, with a healthy balance of advisory, transactional and contentious work for corporate and individual clients.

The group has a strong advisory bent, covering both early-stage, preventative advice and guidance through formal processes. It is a supportive, collegiate team that has fully embraced agile working and gives every member the room to develop and to play a part in its continued growth.

The role:

• Acting for insolvency practitioners, companies, directors, lenders and shareholders, as well as individuals on personal insolvency matters.
• Administrations, including appointments, trading issues and pre-packs, together with floating charge questions.
• Receiverships from appointment through to sale.
• CVAs and Part 26A restructuring plans.
• Solvent and insolvent liquidations, including MVLs, CVLs and compulsory windings up.
• Antecedent transaction claims, misfeasance and directors' duties actions, alongside director disqualification.
• Ongoing advice to directors on their duties and on continued trading.
• Supervising, mentoring and developing junior Lawyers and paralegals.

The candidate:

• A confident Senior or Managing Associate with strong technical knowledge across both contentious and non-contentious restructuring and insolvency.
• Real enthusiasm for the area and an interest in where it is heading.
• Bankruptcy and trustee-side experience would be a plus, although you need not have covered every advisory area and will be supported to broaden your expertise.
• Well organised and calm under pressure, with a sharp eye for detail and sound file and financial management.
• An excellent communicator who works well with Lawyers and support colleagues alike.
• Comfortable with technology, including SharePoint or similar platforms.

The opportunity:

This is a chance to take a leading role in a team that is building, with a broad and interesting caseload, high-quality work and genuine scope to shape how the practice develops. The firm offers hybrid working with at least half of your time spent remotely, and it is open to discussing other flexible arrangements.

We endeavour to respond to all applications within 72 hours, however due to the volume of applications we receive we may not be able to respond to every candidate individually and would advise that if you do not hear from us you should assume you are not successful in your application.
