Legal 500 2024

Justin McConville’s intervention on my behalf was impressive and invaluable. His experience in dealing with these investigations meant that I presented my case in the most advantageous way possible, drawing out all the relevant details and mitigating facts which The Insolvency Service needed to be made aware of. Some of them would never have occurred to me, but when presented in the round, they made a very convincing case in my defence. My accountancy career was put on the line but now I am free to continue with my practice. I am indebted to Justin for putting an end to my sleepless nights!

I am indebted to Will, Justin, and all the team, as well as my barrister, James Knott of 4 Stone Buildings Chambers and Tony Murphy of Harrisons Business Recovery, for their hard work and expert guidance. The firm responded to the application at very short notice and I was impressed how they left no stone unturned and put my response in a manner which the Judge obviously found very compelling.

Being involved in a legal dispute is very worrying but Justin put me at complete ease with his responsive approach and his practical, clear advice. His specialist knowledge and attention to detail is exceptional and it felt like Justin really cared about my dispute and achieving the best result for me. I was confident in his strategy and judgement and he was upfront about his firm's costs which was very helpful and reassuring. Justin and the team provided an extremely professional service and working with them has been a pleasure.

Company Officer

Justin McConville expertly navigated me through this business dispute, and I am delighted with the final outcome. Justin was knowledgeable about the law and litigation procedure and his calm head and guidance was tremendously useful to me in very contentious and personal circumstances. Justin was always approachable and personable, clear in his advice and tactics, and really worked a miracle with his negotiation skills in getting my business back, especially in view of the difficult personalities and unrealistic expectations of my former business partners.

I was appointed Joint Administrator of Toys “R” Us Limited in February this year. I instructed this firm to help me recover large, disputed balances owed by trade vendors based in the UK, USA and Asia. The claims and underlying vendor agreements were contractually complex, with international dimensions, and were often heavily disputed by well-resourced toy manufacturers. Will, Justin and their recoveries team were commercial, responsive and successfully negotiated substantial recoveries from vendors – to date - in excess of six-figures for the benefit of creditors.
