In this episode, Stephanie Anais is joined by Kevin Hellard, Partner, Offshore Delivery Leader, and UK Insolvency and Asset Recovery Practice Leader at Grant Thornton UK LLP.

During the episode, Kevin explains the role and responsibilities of insolvency and asset recovery practitioners, the type of cases that practitioners are assigned, and the onshore and offshore jurisdictions they operate in.

Specifically, Kevin discusses Grant Thornton’s unique forensic accounting assignment of the Church of England’s assets that formed part of Queen Anne’s Bounty’s investments which were linked to the transatlantic slavery trade; and the investigation into Paulo Maluf, the mayor of Sao Paulo from 1993 – 1997 who was involved in endemic corruption, specifically with regards to substantial construction contracts of over $600 million in Sao Paulo.

Kevin also explains how insolvency and asset recovery practitioners work together with solicitors and barristers, the opportunities available for students and graduates at Grant Thornton, and reveals the top qualities of a Grant Thornton trainee.

This is a particularly valuable and insightful episode for business students and law students interested in exploring alternative careers to that of a solicitor or barrister.
