Partner appointment strengthens Freeths’ restructuring and insolvency team

National law firm Freeths has appointed experienced restructuring and insolvency lawyer Mark Price as a partner to be based in its London office.

Mark joins from Dentons, where he spent more than 14 years advising on complex and high-profile insolvency, restructuring and dispute resolution matters.

His experience includes acting on the long-running cross-border Bell Group liquidation, advising the Carillion Special Managers following the Group’s high-profile collapse into insolvency, leading multidisciplinary teams on major receivership mandates for financial institutions and acting on numerous government matters.

Most recently, Mark completed a secondment with HSBC UK's Special Credit Unit as Senior Legal Counsel further expanding his restructuring expertise.

Freeths’ national head of restructuring John Jeffreys said: “Mark is a highly regarded restructuring and insolvency lawyer who is well known both in the London restructuring market but also further afield and whose experience has taken in some of the most complex and high-profile matters to come to the market in recent times.

“His appointment further strengthens our national team, now comprising 9 partners and almost 40 other team members, and enhances the support we provide to office holders, lenders, investors and other financial stakeholders as well as businesses navigating extremely challenging situations in these difficult times.”

Mark said: “Joining Freeths is a fantastic opportunity to build and shape the London R&I practice.

“The firm provides the perfect platform to launch my partnership career and capture the strong market desire for our combined strengths.

“I look forward to raising our London profile by delivering a high-quality, value-driven offering that establishes Freeths as a trusted, go-to R&I adviser for both new and existing clients.”
