Why this opportunity
This is a UK advisory firm with deep roots in insolvency and restructuring, where forensic work sits at the centre of contentious, investigation-led mandates. The team works closely with officeholders, legal advisers and corporate stakeholders on high-profile disputes, fraud matters and insolvency-related investigations.
This is not a siloed disputes role within a large corporate structure. The London team operates with pace and commercial focus, giving Managers genuine visibility, responsibility and influence from day one.
With sustained growth in contentious and investigation-led work, the team is now looking to hire a Manager to take ownership of live matters and play a visible role in shaping delivery.
