Leading Black Country law firm, Higgs & Sons has strengthened its growing insolvency practice with the appointment of an experienced insolvency litigator.

Associate, Sunil Abbi (33), joins Higgs from Berkshire based firm Pitmans, where he worked within its insolvency litigation team.

A graduate of Brunel University , Sunil, who is based in Hagley, has a wide ranging experience in all aspects of contentious corporate and personal insolvency issues. He joins Higgs as its own insolvency practice is building on its reputation as a valuable resource for companies and individuals throughout the Black Country and beyond.

"I came to Higgs & Sons because of the reputation it has established within the legal and business communities.

"The team is now one of the largest in the region and I am looking forward to working with my colleagues in establishing it as an essential resource for corporate, business and individual clients of the firm," comments Sunil.

Away from work, Sunil's interests include football, going to the gym and swimming, although he admits his uptake of these has diminished considerably since the arrival of his son three years ago. When not sharing childcare duties with his wife, he is currently learning to play the classical guitar.

Head of the Corporate & Commercial department David Ellis believes the appointment of Sunil is a further illustration of the burgeoning strength of his team:

"The Corporate team now benefits from being one of the strongest in the region outside Birmingham . We already had an excellent reputation for corporate restructurings and other non-contentious insolvency work, however recently we have found that more of our insolvency practitioner clients require assistance in bringing and defending court proceedings.

"We are therefore delighted to be joined by Sunil who has such a wealth of experience in this sector and we expect his appointment to help to drive forward the work of our growing insolvency practice," concludes David who is himself a licensed insolvency practitioner.

Higgs & Sons provides a comprehensive legal service to a range of private and corporate clients. The insolvency team advises on all aspects of insolvency including formal and informal schemes to save businesses, Company Director Disqualification Act proceedings, Administrations, Receiverships and Liquidations.
