Shaw Gibbs have joined forces with London-based Insolvency Squared Limited, a move which will bring together over 80 years of industry experience in Insolvency & Advisory to the growing practice. 

Karyn Jones who founded Insolvency Squared in 2015, has over 20 years’ experience in the insolvency space having previously been a qualified Insolvency Practitioner (IP) and Partner with a boutique insolvency firm. She joins ex-Big4 Hayley Simmons, Head of the existing Insolvency & Advisory Division and Clive Everitt an IP and long-standing industry expert with over 35 years’ experience. 

The expansion is a further indication of the firm’s growth since they first established a permanent presence in London just 18 months ago. During this time, Shaw Gibbs’ development has been heavily supported by the acquisition of London firm Cooper Murray in November 2016. More recently, Shaw Gibbs have expanded their office footprint on Devonshire Street, Marylebone to allow space for skilled professionals such as Karyn to contribute to the firm’s growth trajectory. 

Hayley Simmons, Head of Insolvency & Advisory at Shaw Gibbs commented “We have spent some time looking for the right IP as we wanted someone with a similar ethos to Shaw Gibbs, someone who could easily align with our values and hit the ground running. I am delighted that Karyn is joining us as with her experience and commerciality it means that we are now able to build our Insolvency & Advisory offering in the London market and I have no doubt that the division will go from strength to strength.” 

Karyn comments “I am looking forward to joining a strong practice where I will have support from the experienced insolvency and back office teams to enable me to focus on developing new business and offer my contacts access to the other areas of expertise in the firm.. Shaw Gibbs have shown that they are a forward-thinking firm who are prepared to invest in new growth areas and I am excited to be a part of this”
