HBJ boosts insolvency in Nottingham

HBJ Gateley Wareing has snared Eversheds’ former Nottingham ­insolvency chief Chris Radford.

Radford joins as a partner in Nottingham and will lead HBJ’s corporate recovery team as the firm bolsters its restructuring capability in light of the economic downturn.

HBJ corporate partner Austin Moore said: “We’re delighted to welcome Chris to the team. Corporate restructuring and insolvency expertise is in high demand as the economy changes and our clients react to the more challenging business climate.”

Radford will work with corporate recovery associate Ruth Night, who is based in Nottingham. Before joining HBJ, Radford headed Eversheds’ insolvency practice in Nottingham for 10 years.
