Ken Titchen was admitted as a solicitor in 1993 and joined the firm's Restructuring & Insolvency Department in 2005.  He was previously at a national law firm where Ken gained substantial experience in all aspects of restructuring/turnaround, insolvency, recovery, and business support operating in a wide range of business sectors.  

Ken regularly deals with non-contentious and contentious insolvency issues relating to both companies and individuals in financial difficulty, and whether arising before or after formal insolvency procedures commence. 

Clients include insolvency practitioners, lenders, boards of directors, interim/turnaround managers, debtors and creditors.  Ken has particular experience of advising on assignments for asset based lenders, and in recovering debts in the leisure/brewing industry.  He has also advised pension scheme trustees and companies in relation to deficits on final salary pension schemes and the 'moral hazard' provisions of the Pensions Act 2004. 

Recent significant matters include successfully restructuring solicitors practices using a PVA; the rescue (in and out of administration) of businesses in the retail, technology, film and financial services sectors; the appointment of fixed charge receivers as an alternative to administration; a hotly contested application for an administration order involving competing proposed office holders; advising in relation to a trust in receivership in the UK and Chapter 11 in the USA.

Ken combines his legal and commercial knowledge and experience to provide proactive support and effective solutions for his clients at all times.
