Credentials and Recent Assignments

Our team has experience of a wide range of industries and sectors.

Financial services

Financial services assignments in differing sectors have become an increasing area of focus,  whether arising from disturbance in financial markets, reorganisation as part of a wider plan or other factors affecting the financial position of the companies.

The broad range of work we have undertaken has involved detailed interaction with the FCA, the PRA and the FSCS as well as keeping abreast of current legislation, regulation and case law.

Our approach has resulted in the proactive distribution procedures created to maximise returns to clients and creditors.

Recent experience includes assignments in the following;

• Secondary lenders
• Foreign exchange prime brokerage,
• Insurance and reinsurance
• Financial advisors

Property and construction

We have an extensive history of involvement in this sector comprising varied assignments throughout London and the UK. The aim is always to deliver maximum value to creditors and other key stakeholders in sensible time frames.

Recent experience includes assignments in the following;

• Residential and commercial development build-out
• Multi – tenanted commercial sites
• Environmental and trespass issues
• Planning gain

Technology and intellectual property

Technology and intellectual property has been at the heart of many of the shareholder disputes that we have encountered. We encourage parties to reach consensual agreements where possible, to avoid losses arising from the costs of a dispute and delays in utilisation. Unfortunately this advice is not always heeded.

We find ourselves acting where valuations are disputed and agreement cannot readily be reached. We have experience in negotiating outcomes whereby real value is ascertained, albeit in some cases it appears litigation is inevitable. Where this happens we seek to manage the process to the best advantage for creditors generally.

Recent experience includes assignments in the following;

• Renewables
• Managed hosting
• Projections technology
• Technical information and research platforms
