Ex-Olswang partner joins restructuring & insolvency team

Séamas Gray has joined Penningtons Manches LLP as a restructuring and insolvency partner to further develop the team following the firm’s enlargement in October 2013. He joins the firm from Olswang and, prior to that, he was joint head of Pinsent Masons' London restructuring practice.

Séamas has acted on a wide variety of assignments from UK mid-market to some of the largest and most complex European and global financial restructurings and insolvencies, both contentious and non-contentious. He has particular expertise in the healthcare, real estate, retail, leisure and pensions sectors, having previously set up the first dedicated pension restructuring team in the City in 2010.

Commenting on Séamas’ appointment, Franco Bosi, head of Penningtons Manches’ business services division, says: “His experience in complex restructurings as well as his considerable insolvency experience will fit perfectly and assist in the continued development of our established multi-disciplinary restructuring and insolvency team.”
