About RylandBell
RylandBell is a specialist insolvency and company-law claims business based in Birmingham. We are a fully-funded investment boutique with a significant and growing live portfolio — currently c.£30m+ in claims face value across several dozens of live cases. Our model is straightforward and powerful: we take a pragmatic, commercial approach to acquiring and funding claims from creditors and insolvency practitioners across a wide variety of corporate misfeasance situations — from anti-phoenix claims through to wider breaches of director duty. We bear the litigation risk, and we win when we recover. One of our principals is a highly experienced insolvency solicitor with deep, market-leading expertise in precisely the type of contentious work we pursue. The successful candidate will work directly alongside that expertise while owning the day-to-day legal function and, crucially, the commercial outcome of our portfolio.
The role
This is a leadership position, not merely a case-handling one.
