Strengthening London Restructuring Team with Senior Appointment

We are thrilled to have strengthened our restructuring, recovery and insolvency team with the appointment of Serena Eddy as legal director in our London office, supporting the firm’s continued growth in complex contentious insolvency and cross-border asset recovery work.

Serena joins us from Irwin Mitchell LLP, where she was a senior associate and contentious lead within the restructuring and insolvency group.

With nearly a decade of post-qualification experience, she advises insolvency practitioners, creditors, directors, and stakeholders on a broad range of corporate and personal insolvency matters, with a particular focus on investigations, litigation and asset recovery.

Her work includes high-value and cross-border matters involving fraud-related disputes and international enforcement.

Serena is also experienced in disputes involving digital assets – an emerging area within insolvency and recovery work – as the legal landscape continues to evolve alongside new technologies.

Serena said: “I’m delighted to be joining Shakespeare Martineau at such an exciting point in the firm’s journey. The restructuring team has built a strong reputation for high-quality work and collaborative client relationships, and I was particularly drawn to the firm’s ambitious growth plans and progressive culture.

“I’m looking forward to working with colleagues across the firm to build on the team’s success and support clients navigating complex and often cross-border restructuring and insolvency matters.”

Andrew Taylor, partner and head of restructuring, added: “We’re very pleased to welcome Serena to the team. She brings significant experience in contentious insolvency and asset recovery, alongside growing expertise in cross-border and digital asset matters.

“Her appointment reflects our continued investment in the London market and ambition to grow our restructuring and insolvency offering in the capital. Serena’s technical expertise and collaborative approach make her a strong addition to the team as we continue to support clients facing complex and evolving challenges.”

Serena’s appointment forms part of our wider strategy to strengthen our restructuring and insolvency capabilities and expand our presence in key markets, ensuring clients have access to specialist advice across complex disputes, investigations and recovery matters.
