Tim Pritchard

Legal Director


Career & Experience

Tim is a member of our restructuring and insolvency team and provides advisory support to a broad range of businesses, directors, financial institutions and insolvency practitioners. Increasingly Tim advises distressed corporates and their directors in relation to their statutory duties, supporting them as they make ongoing decisions in respect of trading, investments and asset disposals.

As a result of a secondment with a High Street Clearing Bank, Tim has significant experience in providing advice to financial institutions in respect of their stressed and distressed portfolios, covering new lending, security structures and enforcement.  He also works with lenders and investors operating in the distressed debt sector.  Another highlight has been advising five of the small number of investment firms to enter into special administration following the introduction of the specialist procedure as a result of the collapse of Lehman Brothers – Tim is one of a limited number of lawyers with significant experience in this area.

Tim particularly enjoys the technical detail of restructuring and insolvency work, and has created a knowledge sharing culture around this within the firm enabling colleagues to learn from one another and be better prepared to assist clients.

Tim is a keen sportsman, but when he is not playing, watching or coaching a variety of sports he enjoys baking and has recently taken up the piano.
