3 months ago


London, Greater London, United Kingdom Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited Full time
Ideal opening for a UK Law graduate/LLB who knows they don't want to be a lawyer, but has a "sleuth" mindset

Your new company

A multi-office Corporate Recovery/Restructuring and Advisory boutique, our client is often in the top 10 of the Insolvency league tables.

Their thriving Contentious Insolvency function now has an opening for a Law graduate to train in this exciting field where forensic meets insolvency.


Your new roleSo what is contentious insolvency?

Insolvency is a complex field surrounding financial distress and often stemming from contentious issues including potential fraud and wrongful trading.

Businesses can be under pressure to address overdue debt and run financially viable companies.

Times of pressureand economic crisis often lead to contentious issues such as potential preference payments, transactions at an undervalue/defrauding creditors, void dispositions, illegal dividends, breach of contract/warranty issues and misfeasance.

These issues are oftenonly identified once a company enters an insolvency process and require expertise in fraud, contentious insolvency and forensics.

So what will you be learning?

  • Bringing claims against company directors and third parties
  • Obtaining interim relief remedies, including worldwide freezing injunction orders
  • Identifying and litigating complex claims on behalf of creditors
  • Fraud investigations
  • Recovering assets from the UK and overseas identifying and recovering assets and to bring claims against those accountable for fraud, misfeasance, or breach of duty.
  • Dealing with enforcement actions and local and international asset tracing

What you'll need to succeed:

-
You'll be a UK law graduate / LLB who knows already they don't want to go on and qualify as a Lawyer:


  • Yet you want to use your knowledge in a different way:
-
A hunger to learn:

-
A "super-sleuth" mindset:

-
The tenacity to pursue yet the nuanced communication skills to do so in the right way:


  • clearly, an interest in Insolvency and the legal framework it operates within

What you'll get in return

  • Learning from and with some of the best in the industry
  • The chance to take qualifications when ready (usually after 2 years' experience)
  • A career in a field which is still comparatively underadvised
  • Working with genuinely nice people
