Specialist expertise

Victoria is a managing director of compliance, working within the quality and risk department. She is responsible for ensuring that the firm maintains high standards of regulatory compliance and keeps up-to-date with both insolvency and associated legislation together with best practice directives. This is important given the major legislative changes which Victoria and her team have needed to respond to effectively in recent years.

She is regularly asked to advise on technical queries in relation to case-specific matters and strives to provide responses which are balanced between the interests of commerciality, therefore providing insolvency cases with value for money as well as guaranteeing legal adherence. She also coordinates and oversees the requirements of the recognised professional bodies who licence the firm's insolvency practitioners.

Prior to working within the regulatory side of the insolvency industry, Victoria gained practical case experience by being involved in high-profile trading administrations of a phone company and clothes manufacturer, together with administering a varied portfolio of cases. This practical exposure has ensured that Victoria understands what is sometimes the contradictory needs of regulatory requirements and what can reasonably be achieved. She enjoys the challenges that this can present.
