The Team

Our British Virgin Islands office is experiencing significant growth, winning and delivering high-profile cross-border restructuring and insolvency engagements across the Caribbean and internationally. Backed by one of the world's leading restructuring practices, our team advises companies, lenders, investors and other stakeholders on complex cross-border restructuring and insolvency matters involving offshore structures and multinational businesses. As part of A&M's global Restructuring practice, you will work seamlessly with colleagues across the UK, US, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Caribbean, delivering market-leading restructuring and insolvency solutions without the audit conflicts associated with traditional professional services firms.

How you will contribute

As part of a highly skilled team, you will take a leading role on high-profile, complex engagements across restructuring advisory and insolvency, working alongside many of the industry's leading Senior and Managing Directors. This is an excellent opportunity to further develop both your technical and commercial expertise.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing significant workstreams and taking day-to-day responsibility for the delivery of restructuring and insolvency engagements, including workplans, budgets, timelines and key deliverables.
• Analysing complex financial and operational information, assessing financial performance, liquidity and cash flow, and identifying key commercial, financial and insolvency issues.
• Supporting office holders in the conduct and administration of formal insolvency appointments, including liquidations, receiverships, investigations, asset recovery and realisation strategies.
• Preparing and reviewing high-quality financial analyses, reports, presentations and correspondence for clients, office holders, creditors and other stakeholders.
• Working directly with clients, directors, creditors, shareholders, lenders, legal advisers and other professional advisers, often across multiple jurisdictions.
• Supervising and developing junior team members, while supporting Senior and Managing Directors in shaping engagement strategy and delivering commercially focused recommendations.

You will gain broad industry and international exposure across formal insolvency, restructuring advisory, and other stressed and distressed situations — and will be encouraged to continue developing your external profile and professional network, both within A&M and across the wider business, legal and financial community.
