Darren attended Which? Legal Service to offer training on personal and business insolvency. He totally understood the brief and the training was excellent, as were the notes provided.
Philip Wood
I worked with Darren on a number of occasions over a period of 6 to 7 years whilst at his previous firm. I was always impressed with his thoughtful approach to the problem in hand and his willingness to examine the issue in detail. He would not hesitate to give unpopular advice where warranted. On that basis I would recommend him

I act for Insolvency Practitioners, Directors, Companies and Individuals in advising on a full range of issues arising out of insolvency in matters such as attendance at creditor meetings, issuing and defending petitions for bankruptcy and liquidation, advising on validity of appointment, professional conduct, remuneration, the realisation and recovery of assets including preferences, undervalue claims, illegal dividends and dealing with claims relating to the matrimonial home in bankruptcy proceedings.In the past I have advised Directors in relation to claims made against them by office holders as well as advising on their duties as the company approaches insolvency. For those Directors unfortunate enough to face disqualification proceedings I am able to advise and defend director disqualification applications and apply for leave to be a director in the event they have been disqualified.I have also acted sucessfully for Directors applying for leave to use prohibited names under section 216 Insolvency Act 1986.
