Contentious Insolvency
Complex and disputed insolvency matters instructed by HMRC.
Complex and contentious insolvency matters require a practitioner with investigative expertise and the ability to act decisively. With over 27 years of experience in large-scale insolvencies, cross-border asset recovery and cases instructed by HMRC across the South West and beyond, I help directors and creditors achieve the best possible outcome. I’m here to help, confidentially and without obligation.
