Firm adds top Legal 500 lawyer to its ranks
North West law firm, Primas, has appointed a new head of corporate recoveries and insolvency, further broadening the firm’s offering.


Newly appointed Chris Love will head up the corporate recoveries and insolvency department at the firm, acting for a range of insolvency practitioners, corporate and company director clients across the UK. 

A Legal 500 ranked professional, Chris specialises in all aspects of recoveries and insolvencies, including restructuring and turnaround advice, business and asset sales, insolvency litigation and disqualification proceedings.

The new department head has also been a Higher Court Advocate since 2007 and joins Primas from Manchester-based legal firm, JMW. 

Chris said: ‘I’m delighted to have joined such a forward-thinking and fast-growing commercial firm. Primas has demonstrated its commitment to strategic expansion, and I was immediately attracted to the firm’s vision and refreshingly modern approach.

‘Primas’ presence in Cheshire, as well as Manchester and London, was a massive attraction as I’m proud to have grown up in Warrington and live in the area, so I know first-hand how vibrant it is.’

Managing partner, Adam Kerr, said of the appointment: ‘We’re really pleased to bring Chris on board and we’re confident he’ll be pivotal in helping us achieve our ambitious plans.

‘We’re really keen to keep the momentum going, continuing to grow our staff and our offering, and Chris’s department is a really big part of our commitment to doing that.’
