I have been practising as a dispute resolution solicitor for over three years now, specialising in commercial litigation and contentious insolvency. Prior to this I provided inhouse legal support to network service companies.
I am personable, approachable and commercially focused, always mindful to provide cost and time effective solutions for clients (because nobody wants to waste either of these things). I’m also highly dependable – clients know they can leave me to get on with the job while they get on with running their business.
My areas of expertise include:
- commercial litigation, including breach of contract claims, director/shareholder disputes and partnership disputes
- contentious insolvency, including acting on behalf of IPs in claims against directors (antecedent transactions/breach of directors duties) and acting on behalf of directors in defence of such claims
I am a member of R3, the trade association for UK insolvency and restructuring professionals.
Alev is a pleasure to work with and has consistently provided us with prompt, cost effective and invaluable advice. We would not hestitate to recommend her.
Dom Batchelor, Director
Alev Tonks provided us with a comprehensive and sound service, representing us perfectly. She was hugely informative from the outset, realistically setting our expectations and explaining possible scenarios. In the end Alev managed to secure us a successful outcome far beyond our expectations. We recommend FWJ to anyone needing to understand specialist legal advice around the world of directorships.
A company director for whom we achieved a successful outcome
I can’t speak highly enough of Alev Tonks and Stephen Downie. They took control of a situation, provided excellent advice and subsequently resolved the issue rapidly and at a very reasonable fee level. I would strongly recommend engaging them.
