Tiran is highly regarded for his courtroom advocacy and has extensive experience acting (both led and unled) in substantial trials, appeals and applications. He is a ‘go-to’ expert in the area of directors’ disqualification and is the general editor of the leading textbook in that field: Mithani. Tiran has a particular depth of experience in both corporate and personal insolvency litigation, including transactions at undervalue and preferences, disputed winding up and bankruptcy petitions, administrations, bankruptcy restriction orders, wrongful/fraudulent trading and the appointment of provisional liquidators on the application of creditors and the Secretary of State. He has been recommended for many years as a leading practitioner in the fields of Restructuring/Insolvency and Company/Partnership. He has acted in several high profile matters for the government and private clients in recent years including Carillion, Comet, Post Office Horizon scandal, Bell Pottinger, BHS, Boris Becker, the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, the proposed acquisition of Sky by 21 Century Fox and James Stunt to name but a few. Tiran has been appointed to the AG’s panel since 2006 (A-Panel since 2016) pursuant to which he has been instructed in some of the government’s most significant and high-profile matters stretching back to the collapse of MG Rover. He is presently instructed in the highly publicised £120m+ contractual claim by the Government against PPE Medpro arising from the fallout from PPE procurement during the Covid-19 pandemic.
