Brett has been a partner in the Finance Group since 1999. As well as being a banking specialist, he is highly respected for his mid-market insolvency practice and co-heads the firm's International Corporate Restructuring and Insolvency Group.
Brett acts for a range of insolvency practitioners, banks and other stakeholders on distressed corporate situations, handling a wide range of transactional and advisory work with a highly focused, commercial and no-nonsense approach. Reflecting some of the firm's core strengths, much of his work in recent years has involved financial distress in the convergent fields of communications, media and IT. Brett's career credentials encompass work on some of the most significant corporate collapses in the UK in the last two decades including BCCI, British and Commonwealth, Maxwell, Facia and Parmalat.
Combining these complementary finance and insolvency skill sets, Brett offers clients a fully integrated service with the flexibility of exploring options beyond formal insolvency which is invariably value destructive for stakeholders.
Brett is a member of R3 (the Association of Business Recovery Professionals), the Insolvency Lawyers Association, INSOL Europe and the Turnaround Managers Association.
