Rob specializes in insolvency litigation, providing solutions to creditors and other stakeholders to recover assets both in the UK and globally. He leads complex insolvency appointments, including provisional liquidations, high-profile bankruptcies, receiverships, corporate and personal fraud investigations, and pursuing directors for misfeasance.
