Firm boosts its restructuring advisory team

Gateley Legal has strengthened its restructuring advisory team with the appointment of partner Alexander Wood.

Alexander joins the London office from BDB Pitmans, where he was a partner in the restructuring and insolvency unit.

With over 22 years of restructuring and insolvency experience in the City, as well as across the South of England, Alexander advises lenders, borrowers, insolvency practitioners, and other stakeholders of distressed businesses on all areas of corporate recovery and restructuring. This includes advising on both cross-border and domestic transaction and contentious insolvency matters, exit strategies, restructurings, enforcement options, administrations, receiverships, liquidations, and company voluntary arrangements (CVAs).

He also has client-side experience from the completion of two banking secondments at Barclays and The Royal Bank of Scotland, including time spent in Spain.

Andrew Buchanan, partner and head of restructuring advisory at Gateley Legal, said: ‘Alexander is a great asset to our restructuring advisory team, bringing valuable City experience to our London office. The quality and breadth of his knowledge provides an opportunity to develop our nationally recognised restructuring advisory services further to support our existing client portfolio and support further growth.’

Alexander added: ‘I am delighted to be joining Gateley’s restructuring team as partner. I look forward to leveraging my expertise in conducting complex restructuring and insolvency assignments to support Gateley’s wide client base including companies and their boards, banks, private equity houses, sureties and asset financers.’
