The team at Actons includes insolvency practitioner Nicky Calthrop-Owen, the experienced Richard Leman, and contentious insolvency specialist Chris Murratt. In 2011, the firm acted for an insolvent company engaged in litigation to recover assets both in the UK and abroad.
Browne Jacobson LLP’s contentious insolvency team is ‘a match for the national firms in the City’. Team head Dominic Offord is ‘willing to help’, and ‘one of the most experienced insolvency lawyers in the country’.
Eversheds LLP advises leading banks such as RBS, HSBC, and Barclays. In 2011, it acted in a £400m multi-jurisdictional dispute following the failure of a debt repayment plan. Mark Wood and Ian Gill have ‘an excellent grasp of the client’s requirements’, and the team as a whole is noted for its ‘very swift response times’ and the ‘depth of relationship’ it achieves with clients.
Noted for its ‘strength in depth’, Gateley’s restructuring team handles contentious and non-contentious work for clearing banks and accountants. It is acting for KPMG and Lloyds TSB in respect of the administration of Amos Group, a matter which involves planning, insurance, and health and safety issues. Chris Radford is ‘well respected across the Midlands and nationally’; Brendan McGeever is an ‘effective commercial adviser’; and Mark Wilson is a ‘big-hitter with a fantastic reputation for litigation’.
Freeth Cartwright LLP’s insolvency team includes Simon Baigent, who is ‘technically able and commercially sound’ and focuses on distressed M&A and complex investigatory work. In 2011, he advised CB Associates in relation to numerous issues arising out of administrations. Charles Darby is noted for anti-avoidance and asset realisation cases handled on a conditional fee basis.
Geldards LLP specialises in cross-border matters involving Germany and Ireland. In 2011, Jonathan Tardif advised the joint liquidators on HTL’s £15m liquidation. Senior associate Anton Smith is also recommended.
Harvey Ingram LLP’s ‘proficient’ corporate and personal insolvency practice is headed by Sean Moran, who is ‘always professional and approachable’. In 2011 he advised the directors of a company in relation to retention of title and lien claims worth over £700,000. Property specialist Kate Hall is also recommended.
At Nelsons Solicitors Limited, Stewart Vandermark and Emma Ward ‘stand out in a remarkably strong insolvency team’. Clients include Deloitte, Grant Thornton, and Smith Cooper. Simon Trees is the Derby contact.
At Hewitsons LLP, Dominic Hopkins leads on the contentious side and David Browne undertakes non-contentious work. In 2011, Brown advised flagship client Travis Perkins on the acquisition of Apollo Building Supplies out of administration.
Howes Percival LLP’s team head Geraint Davies and the highly regarded David Whiting are both experienced in high-value contentious insolvency and High Court applications. HMRC, Cooper Parry, and Deloitte regularly instruct the firm.
The team at Shakespeares is a ‘pleasure to work with’. It is led by Carl Mifflin, who in 2011 joined forces with new arrival Lisa Botterill to advise several parties in relation to the restructuring and administration of the Finesse Hotels Group.
Smith Partnership now has capacity at partner level having promoted the ‘dedicated’ Rachel McCahill-Brown. The team assists with administrations and voluntary arrangements, as well as retention of title and s216 matters. New clients include Begbies Traynor and Accura Insolvency Practitioners.
Spearing Waite LLP’s Ashwin Mody undertakes instructions with complex pensions and international elements. In 2011, the team acted for a trustee in bankruptcy in pursuing a £1m entitlement, a case which may have significant ramifications for bankruptcy law.
Tollers LLP’s department is headed by Duncan Nicholson. In 2011, the group advised the joint administrators of Company Time in the disposal of a chain of nightclubs and pubs.
Chattertons’ Peter Lawson acts for insolvency practitioners, companies, individuals, and firms of accountants.

Supreme Court provides guidance on forum conveniens and piercing the corporate veil
Macfarlanes LLP currently authors the Litigation & Dispute Resolution section of The In-House Lawyer magazine. For more information and articles from this author click here . This article considers the Supreme Court decision in VTB Capital plc v Nutritek International Corp & or s [2013]. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the case is that it casts doubt on the notion that the Court has the power to pierce the corporate veil. The Supreme Court also held that, even if the power to pierce the corporate veil does exist, it does not enable a claimant to hold parties that control a company jointly and severally liable under contracts entered into by that company.
