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.
