Birmingham Route to Partnership
Cherry Professional is delighted to be working with a leading professional services firm in Birmingham to appoint an Insolvency Director to take ownership of a varied portfolio across corporate and personal insolvency, lead restructuring engagements, and help drive continued growth. This is a senior hire with a clear route to Partnership for the right individual.
The role
You’ll be a key figure in the insolvency and restructuring team, combining high-quality client delivery with leadership and commercial input.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Managing a portfolio of corporate and personal insolvency cases (including advisory and contentious matters where required).
- Leading restructuring and turnaround projects, providing clear, pragmatic advice to directors, stakeholders, and individuals.
- Acting as a senior point of contact for clients, referrers, and internal stakeholders—handling complex queries and negotiations.
- Leading, coaching, and developing a team (managers, assistants, and administrators), setting standards, and reviewing work.
- Supporting business development: nurturing referral relationships, attending networking events, and contributing to growth initiatives.
- Working closely with Partners to shape strategy, service lines, and team performance, with scope to influence wider firm direction.
