Jack is an Associate in the Insolvency & Restructuring Team at Myerson, with insolvency and restructuring experience as a fee earner across various roles.
Jack joined Myerson as a Solicitor in February 2023 and has been a core member of the Insolvency & Restructuring Team since then. He was promoted to Associate just six months after joining Myerson, reflecting his contribution and commitment to the success of the team and the firm (including his involvement in many of the team’s most significant matters).
Prior to joining Myerson, Jack worked at the Manchester office of a national law firm, joining upon qualification as a Solicitor in September 2021. Prior to that, he had worked for an established and well-known Cheshire-based law firm for eight years, spending the majority of his time there working as a fee earner in the firm’s Insolvency Team.
Before qualifying as a Solicitor, Jack graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a First-Class Honours Degree in Law and was the top-performing law student in the university. Jack then undertook the Legal Practice Course at the University of Law in Manchester, achieving a Distinction.
Jack has developed considerable experience in dealing with both corporate and personal insolvency, acting in respect of a range of contentious, non-contentious and advisory matters for insolvency practitioners, directors and individuals.
Jack advises on a wide range of insolvency matters, including a range of claims brought by insolvency officeholders (to include liquidators, administrators and trustees in bankruptcy), distressed business and/or asset sales out of formal insolvency processes, matters relating to the appointment of insolvency officeholders (including technical advice regarding secured creditor interests), retention of title claims and winding-up and bankruptcy petitions.
Jack is highly regarded by clients and known for his attention to detail, technical ability and commercial awareness.
Alongside his legal practice, Jack is also a member of Myerson’s Employee Engagement Committee, which was established upon Myerson becoming 100% employee-owned.
