Kevin Hawthorn is a partner in the firm's restructuring and insolvency team in Bristol. He is recommended for his advice to administrators, as well as corporate turnaround and recovery, personal insolvency and litigation.

He often acts as a trusted adviser in relation to any insolvency matters and provides a five-star service. I find him to be highly accessible and to give robust, comprehensive and commercial advice.

Kevin is the perfect mix for a strong partner to lead a team of professionals who work in a highly contentious area. His diplomacy is second to none.

Kevin is an excellent lawyer with a strong understanding of emotional intelligence. His knowledge is superb but his soft skills are also superb.

Kevin is commercial and experienced. He provides great technical advice, is great at walking you through advice to a conclusion and is always prepared.
