Law firm Chadwick Lawrence has appointed David Arundel as partner in the corporate recovery and Insolvency department, based at its new Leeds office.

Mr Arundel, who is pictured, above right, with corporate recovery and insolvency partner Asma Iqbal and managing partner Jeremy Garside, has worked as a solicitor in the city for almost 20 years, initially at Hammond Suddards before moving to Clarion.

He advises insolvency practitioners on all issues concerning administrations, liquidations, voluntary arrangements and bankruptcies. He has particular expertise in restructuring businesses with or without an insolvency procedure to secure the survival of the business as a going concern.

Chadwick Lawrence has offices in Huddersfield, Halifax, Morley, Pudsey, Wakefield, Leeds, Liverpool and Sheffield.

Mr Garside said: “Attracting people of David’s calibre further strengthens our position as an operator in the Leeds market and also enhances our overall offering in the wider Yorkshire area.”
