Restructuring & insolvency expert appointed as partner

City firm RPC has welcomed restructuring and insolvency partner Paul Bagon to the team.

Formerly a partner with Rosenblatt Solicitors, Paul has also previously worked with Ashurst and Weil, Gotshal & Manges. He is highly specialised in insolvency and restructuring matters, advising on the structuring and implementation of in court and out-of-court restructurings, formal insolvencies, contingency planning, creditor claims, fraud, and recovery mandates.

RPC managing partner James Miller said: ‘We are very pleased that Paul is joining RPC. He brings with him a wealth of experience and we look forward to adding his expertise to our first class corporate, commercial and disputes practices.

‘We have a particular focus at RPC on handling complex commercial disputes, regulatory challenges, and transactions across retail, insurance, technology, financial services and beyond. These are all areas of serious growth for the firm. Paul has got a breadth of knowledge that will complement that focus—we're really looking forward to him getting going.’
