Addleshaw Goddard has a longstanding presence in the restructuring and insolvency market, which was cemented by the arrival of Craig Sowman from William Fry LLP in 2024, who joined as co-head of the restructuring and insolvency team. The enlarged senior bench brings the firm further into the frame for top domestic and cross-border engagements. It remains particularly close to the major insolvency practitioners in the market, along with a variety of senior secured lenders. The immensely experienced Doug Smith also co-heads the team and has an outstanding reputation.
