Career

Jan is a partner who specialises in insolvency, business recovery and turnaround for both corporate and private individuals.

As a specialist in insolvency, business recovery and turnaround for both corporate and private individuals, Jan also handles solvent liquidations, commercial dispute resolution and litigation.

Jan is Chair of the Chester Business Club and a member of the Institute of Directors.  She served for 9 years as non-executive Director of Muir Group Housing Association Ltd and member of its Group Audit & Risk Committee.

Jan has a determined and focused approach to all her work, which is much valued by her clients.

Having worked for several years before qualifying as a solicitor, including a period as a manager at a limited company under administrative receivership, her first-hand business experience gives her a valuable insight to clients’ problems.

Dealing with insolvency office holders, the Court or the Insolvency Service can be very stressful, and Jan works hard to smooth the path towards a satisfactory outcome in matters such as IVAs, MBOs, asset purchases, director disqualification proceedings or bankruptcy annulment. She provides clear and reliable advice on options available before and after formal insolvency proceedings. She also assists those affected by the bankruptcy of their spouse.

Jan advises about a wide range of issues such as antecedent transaction claims and possession proceedings.

Jan’s pre-qualification experience includes five years at a cross-media publishing company in London, handling commercial work such as licence and production agreements for video, music and spoken word. She formerly worked at a manufacturing company in Cornwall and at an outdoor pursuits centre in mid-Wales.

She qualified with Distinction at the University of Law, Chester. Jan also has an Honours degree in International Business after study in the Netherlands and at Plymouth University.

Jan is regulated as an insolvency practitioner by the ICAEW in the UK. Jan is also a member of R3, the Association of Business Recovery Professionals.
