About the Speakers (more to be confirmed soon)
Brendan Clarkson, CVR Global, Insolvency Director
Brendan has over 20 years’ experience in the debt, insolvency and credit management sectors. He specialises in both non-court and court insolvency work.
He has built close relationships with solicitors, other professionals, banks and client companies in order to understand their debt management needs. He has also developed good working relationships with government organisations. He appreciates the range of debt recovery options available to organisations, and works hard to ensure their best interests are served.
Brendan has regular contact with the credit management profession through his involvement in credit circles across the UK. He has served as chair of Surrey and Sussex CICM and is heavily involved with the institute.
Adrian Hyde, CVR Global, Partner
Adrian Hyde is a Licenced Insolvency Practitioner and Solicitor. He joined Chantrey Vellacott in 2008 following 16 years as a solicitor in private practice. His legal career involved acting on contentious, and non-contentious, insolvency assignments, and proceeds of crime asset recovery cases.
When the opportunity arose to qualify as an IP, Adrian left the legal profession and became a Partner at Chantrey Vellacott.
The focus of Adrian’s practice is predominantly insolvencies involving litigation, asset tracing, fraud, and the proceeds of crime generally. His practice covers a wide range of matters varying in size and jurisdiction. In the UK he is regularly appointed Liquidator of companies where there are allegations of money laundering, missing trader fraud (MTIC), tax evasion or the transfer of assets prior to liquidation in order to avoid them being realised for the benefit of creditors.
In the more complex cases, there are often assets, or claims, in overseas jurisdictions. Overseas, Adrian heads the firm’s Gibraltar practice, and a substantial part of Adrian’s caseload arises from there. Since 2010 he has been the liquidator of the law firm Marrache & Co, where the three brothers that ran it stole some £30m.
Adrian is very experienced in international asset-tracing and recovery work, and assignments have included recovering assets in USA, Panama, Monaco, Switzerland, Israel, Northern Cyprus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Tanzania, and Egypt.
Adrian was awarded Corporate Insolvency Practitioner of the Year at the 2015 I&R Awards. He is also a former President of R3, the UK trade body representing members of the insolvency profession.
Ian Defty, CVR Global, Partner
Ian Defty is a chartered and certified accountant and an insolvency practitioner, with over 30 years’ insolvency experience. He was a partner in a top 20 firm until co-founding niche insolvency firm, DDJ Insolvency, based in London. Ian was instrumental in merging DDJ with CVR Global in 2017.
He is routinely involved in complex litigation as a liquidator, or office holder, to recover funds misappropriated by bankrupts, directors, advisors or other fraudulent individuals. His expertise also extends to the recovery of assets locally and overseas. A fellow of the ACCA, ICAEW and R3, Ian is also an associate member of the Proceeds of Crime Lawyers Association and sits on the R3 Fraud Panel, the R3 General Technical Committee, the Fraud Advisory Panel and the Economic Crime Prevention Group.
He is also a consulting editorial board member of Lexis PSL. Ian was voted Insolvency Practitioner of the year in 2011.
