A restructuring and insolvency specialist has joined Connect Yorkshire partner and Yorkshire law firm Clarion as a partner.
Matt Leech has joined the firm’s Business Recovery and Insolvency team, bringing more than 18 years’ experience advising insolvency practitioners, lenders, businesses and directors on a range of contentious and non-contentious restructuring and insolvency matters.
After beginning his career in commercial roles, Leech completed a law conversion course before qualifying during the aftermath of the global financial crisis, a period that shaped his expertise in helping businesses and stakeholders manage financial distress, recover value and navigate complex insolvency processes.
He has particular expertise in non-contentious insolvency, corporate restructuring and turnaround mandates, working closely with businesses and stakeholders to deliver practical solutions during periods of change.
Matt Leech said: “Clarion has established itself as one of the leading independent firms in the region, combining high-quality legal expertise with a genuinely commercial approach. The firm’s ambitions, culture and reputation were all major draws for me.
“I’ve spent my career working closely with businesses and advisers through periods of significant change and challenge, helping clients find practical solutions in often complex situations. I’m looking forward to joining such a highly regarded team and contributing to its continued growth.”
Ryan Millmore, joint managing partner at Clarion and head of the team, added: “Mattis a highly respected restructuring and insolvency lawyer whose experience and reputation speak for themselves. His appointment further strengthens the depth and breadth of our Business Recovery & Insolvency team and enhances our ability to support clients across a full spectrum of restructuring, turnaround and insolvency matters. As a firm with a national reputation and a market-leading restructuring practice, we’re delighted to welcome someone of Matt’s calibre to the team.”
