Harris is a qualified Chartered Accountant, a restructuring professional and co-leads our special situation group. He has 20 years of experience supporting and advising in situations of rapid change, underperformance or crisis. He regularly advises secured lenders, shareholders, boards of directors and pension schemes in turnaround and restructuring situations.
Prior to joining the firm, Harris spent time working within both the Big 4 and more recently a mid-tier accountancy firm. He has also undertaken two separate bank secondments; with HSBC Bank (Large Corporate) and FBN Bank (a leading pan-African bank), where he was the acting head of workout with oversight of the bank’s non-performing loan book.
Harris operates across all sector segments but specialises in distressed infrastructure (PFI / PPP) transactions, the UK outsourcing market and the UK franchise / casual dining market. In addition, he is experienced with special situation M&A engagements, where a flexible and hands-on approach is needed to unlock value in an often complex/non-standard M&A scenario.
Harris is a leader within our Special Situations Group (SSG). This is a multi-disciplinary national team that includes M&A, Debt advisory, Transaction support, Valuations, Tax, and Restructuring. The SSG is focused on supporting clients with transactions that typically feature an element of financial distress, require strong stakeholder engagement, and have a requirement to deliver across multiple professional disciplines and in an accelerated time frame.
