INSOLVENCY SOLICITOR / CORPORATE RECOVERY - MANCHESTER 

Insolvency Solicitor – This is a fantastic opportunity for a solicitor with both contentious and non-contentious insolvency experience to join a well-established city centre team with an outstanding reputation in the market. You will be advising a range of clients from banks and insolvency practitioners to creditors and other companies engaged in corporate recovery proceedings. The team also advises Boards on company turnaround and restructuring issues. Knowledge of personal insolvency would also be advantageous.

AT A GLANCE

• Location: Manchester
• Salary: £40,000 - £70,000
• Reports to: Partner
• Previous Experience: Insolvency solicitor with 3 PQE or above in contentious and non-contentious insolvency. Our client is willing to consider candidates all the way up to around 8 or 9 PQE.

THE FIRM

Our client is a leading corporate/commercial law firm with a thriving commercial litigation and insolvency practice. Insolvency solicitors within the corporate recovery team advise on a vast range of matters. Examples of work include advising:

On the contentious side, examples of work might include anything from obtaining bankruptcy petitions and statutory demands to more complex litigation work arising out of insolvency proceedings.
