Financial Difficulties Resolved
Partners - London - Stephen Goderski
Stephen entered the profession in 1985 and qualified to act as an Insolvency Practitioner in 1995. He joined Geoffrey Martin & Co as a partner in the London office in early 2002 from a Tier A firm where he dealt mainly with corporate insolvency assignments for institutional lenders.
Stephen regards control of situations as being crucial to achieving a successful outcome and much of his time is spent in determining how the client should react to any number of variables to an agreed strategy. This approach is proactive and popular with stakeholders who are all encouraged to support an agreed plan and all counselled as to what they need to do to ensure its fulfilment. Stephen therefore takes time to ensure that the working relationship with stakeholders is properly developed.
This is particularly important where a number of key stakeholders may have conflicting claims and it is vital that all parties recognise that not all can be treated equally. Such marshalling is becoming ever more prevalent as the number and type of finance providers increases and is a challenge that is professionally satisfying to successfully overcome.
Stephen is a Fellow of the Insolvency Practitioners Association (“IPA”) and the Association of Business Recovery Professionals. He was chairman of the IPA’s Membership and Authorisation Committee for seven years as well as being a former IPA council member.
When not working Stephen indulges his passions for angling, football and cricket as often as possible, preferably alongside his children.
