Dispute Resolution

Biography

I’m an associate in Tees’ Litigation team, specialising in contentious insolvency and commercial dispute resolution. I bring frontline experience from the Insolvency Service, where I handled high‑value litigation, complex insolvency investigations and prosecuted insolvency‑related offences.

I use this insight to provide clear, commercially focused advice on personal insolvency, corporate insolvency and director‑related claims. My approach is solutions‑driven, helping clients resolve disputes efficiently while protecting their financial position.

I work with individuals, directors, insolvency practitioners and businesses on a wide range of insolvency law and financial dispute matters, including:

  • Bankruptcy advice, defence and strategy
  • Directors’ duties, investigations and disqualification proceedings
  • Misfeasance and breach of duty claims
  • Antecedent transaction claims (preferences, undervalue, defrauding creditors)
  • Challenges to post‑petition dispositions under s.127 IA 1986
  • Post‑insolvency recoveries and asset tracing
  • Possession and sale applications in bankruptcy
  • Statutory demands, winding‑up petitions and debt recovery in insolvency scenarios
