Caroline Ievers – Managing Director, Grant Thornton UK I'm a licenced insolvency practitioner (corporate and personal) with over 20 years’ experience dealing with companies and individual facing financial distress in a variety of sectors. After over 16 years working in the insolvency profession, I took a break in 2011 and spent six years in banking, managing a portfolio of small and medium-sized businesses with commercial property portfolios. In 2020 I joined our insolvency and asset-recovery team where I specialise in investigating, formulating, and managing fraud and civil claims in an insolvency context. Most of my work involves dealing with personal and corporate contentious insolvency appointments, including court-appointed receiverships, bankruptcies, liquidations, and administrations. Insolvency practitioners have legal powers to obtain files, company records, and bank statements, and compel third parties to provide information which assist in the identification of potential claims. Typically, these claims include breach of fiduciary duty, unlawful dividend, and antecedent transactions.
