The Leeds team are best known for acting for banks, asset-based lenders, other lenders, and restructuring professionals. We also have extensive experience in corporate advisory work advising boards of directors from contingency planning in the early stages of distress through to insolvency.

We act for a number of funders and lenders dealing with LPA/FCR work, mortgagee sales and general recoveries. We’re experienced at all areas of recoveries advisory from initial strategy discussions, advising on events of default, demand and reservation of rights letters to dealing with all aspects of enforcement and assisting in redemptions.

We've worked closely with a high street bank to produce an enhanced AML due diligence protocol to apply to buyers from the Bank or receivers to minimise this risk. In this we are industry leading.

The Sheffield team are known as the leading restructuring & insolvency team in Sheffield, being the largest team in Sheffield by a significant margin.
