Restructuring & Insolvency Associate (2-5 year PQE)

Restructuring & Insolvency Associate (2-5 year PQE) – Kingsley Napley LLP

Kingsley Napley (KN) is looking to recruit an experienced Associate (2–5 years PQE) to join our busy and growing Restructuring & Insolvency (R&I) team and to advise clients on a wide range of contentious, non-contentious and advisory matters.

This is a fantastic time to join a consistently top-voted firm (by Best Companies) at a particularly exciting period of growth. The successful individual will join a values-driven organisation with a genuinely collegiate team and excellent development opportunities.

Our highly experienced R&I experts have significant experience helping a wide range of clients. Our R&I lawyers work alongside experts from our Corporate, Real Estate, Employment and Dispute Resolution teams – ensuring every client receives a seamless and specialist service.

The successful individual will work on all aspects of the firm’s R&I offering, alongside a fully complemented team and the head of R&I, Dan Sejas. Dan is recognised as a Ranked 1 National Leader in insolvency work, undertaking advisory, non-contentious, and contentious restructuring and insolvency assignments.

The successful candidate will see an enormously varied workload of R&I matters, including advisory, contentious and non-contentious work – acting for insolvency practitioners, corporates, directors, distressed investors, lenders and creditors, delivering clear, pragmatic advice and building strong client relationships.

• An entrepreneurial spirit and interest in developing and organising marketing/ networking events. Someone who takes proactive steps to push forward BD objectives
• Someone who adopts a positive and open ‘growth mindset’ and embraces change
