In the current economic climate a significant part of his practice involves advising clients whose businesses are being affected by the insolvency of their customers and suppliers in order to mitigate the effects of insolvency and structuring arrangements to minimise the insolvency risk.

He frequently advises insolvency practitioners in relation to their appointments and on legal issues arising in the course of administrations and liquidations.
