Job Description

Insolvency & Restructuring Partner – London



Find out exactly what skills, experience, and qualifications you will need to succeed in this role before applying below.


The Role



Our client is a long-established UK commercial law firm recruiting an Insolvency & Restructuring Partner to lead and develop its insolvency offering. The firm sits within a global network and has expanded strategically in recent years through both acquisition and organic growth, including the addition of a specialist real estate and construction practice. Core strengths include Banking & Finance, Commercial & Corporate, Real Estate Corporate, and Real Estate Investment & Finance.



Following the retirement of the former Head of Insolvency, this role offers the opportunity to take ownership of the practice with full strategic backing. A strong senior associate and mid-level associate remain in post, ensuring continuity of client relationships. The firm is fully committed to investing in Insolvency & Restructuring as a core part of its long-term strategy.



The Insolvency & Restructuring Group advises on UK and international corporate and personal insolvency, working closely with insolvency practitioners, directors, individuals, finance directors, and credit controllers. The practice covers the full lifecycle of distressed situations, from early-stage restructuring and rescue through to formal insolvency and enforcement.



The Candidate




  • Experienced Insolvency & Restructuring Partner with a strong track record across corporate and personal insolvency


Comfortable advising on both contentious and non-contentious insolvency matters


Established client relationships and referral networks, or the ability to develop them


Proven ability to lead, mentor, and develop junior lawyers


Commercially minded, collaborative, and entrepreneurial in approach


Experience working within a multi-disciplinary, full-service environment preferred




Why This Opportunity




  • Join a long-established, highly regarded commercial law firm with clear strategic ambition


Opportunity to lead and rebuild an Insolvency & Restructuring practice with genuine investment and support


Existing team in place, providing immediate delivery capability


Strong internal referral flow from Banking, Corporate, Real Estate, and Disputes


Autonomy, influence, and the ability to shape a practice without short-term pressure




Benefits & How to Apply




  • Competitive Base salary


Partner target set at 2.5x salary, with 12.5% payable on all billed and paid work above target (whether personally generated or referred)


Flexible working arrangements


Clear, transparent remuneration structure


Opportunity to play a pivotal role in the firm’s long-term strategy




Apply in the strictest of confidence online or via telephone – there is no need for a CV for an initial conversation.
