London law firm Spector Constant & Williams is expanding its horizons with the arrival of Partner Richard Curtin who will head up a new restructuring and insolvency department.

He's a Fellow of R3, the insolvency and restructuring professionals' trade body and The Institute of Credit Management. 

Alun Williams, partner at Spector Constant & Williams, said: 'We always look to meet our clients' needs and put them first. By adding Richard to our team to head up a new Restructuring and Insolvency department we've added an extra string to our bow that will help serve our existing and potential clients. 

We are delighted to have Richard join Spector Constant & Williams. His recruitment comes at a time when we, as a firm, are growing and extending our reach.'

The new department will sit alongside and work with Spector Constant & Williams' existing Real Estate, Dispute Resolution, Banking & Finance and Company & Commercial teams.
