Drawing upon a wealth of technical expertise and deep market knowledge, the ‘client-focused and commercial’ team at Fieldfisher remains a very popular choice for officeholders and debtors, in particular, across a range of contentious and non-contentious insolvency/restructuring matters. As well as continuing to pick up a considerable volume of domestic mandates, particularly within the property sector, the team is also gaining more traction in the market for cross-border deals, including on energy and mining-related matters. Stewart Perry is skilled at handling work throughout the distressed curve, using his technical knowledge across different insolvency/restructuring tools to drive solutions both in and out of court. Kit Jarvis, who excels in handling cross-border contentious insolvency matters; Robin Spender, who handles restructuring and refinancing work as part of his broad finance offering; and Manchester-based Michelle Shean co-head the team alongside Perry.
