Alan Roberts

Alan Roberts is a Recovery & Reorganisation Director at Grant Thornton Channel Islands, based in Jersey, where he helps steer the practice recognised as Insolvency Advisory Firm of the Year in Jersey at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards. The distinction acknowledges a team whose work centres on protecting enterprise value and, where necessary, recovering value for stakeholders when businesses come under financial pressure. It places the firm among the advisers the Corporate INTL Global Awards are designed to identify: those that consistently deliver expertise, value and dependable service to their clients.

Within the Recovery & Reorganisation division, Mr Roberts advises under-performing businesses and their stakeholders, identifying and resolving the issues that affect profitability and financial stability. His work draws on the full range of tools the practice offers, from early-stage strategic performance reviews and debt advisory through to formal corporate insolvency and financial restructuring. The emphasis throughout is on acting decisively to preserve value, whether that means returning a viable business to a sustainable footing or managing an orderly process where recovery is no longer possible.

Grant Thornton Channel Islands provides a wide range of services to under-performing businesses and the financial stakeholders connected to them. The Recovery & Reorganisation offering encompasses corporate insolvency, corporate simplification, debt advisory, exit strategy services, financial restructuring and strategic performance reviews. This breadth allows the team to engage at whatever stage a situation demands, supporting companies that range from early-stage enterprises to established organisations competing on the international stage, and to tailor its approach to the particular circumstances of each mandate.

Jersey's position as one of the world's leading international finance centres gives this work a distinctly cross-border character. Businesses and structures established in the island are frequently connected to lenders, investors and counterparties in other jurisdictions, and restructuring or insolvency matters often need to be handled with an awareness of competing stakeholder interests across borders. Operating within the Grant Thornton network, the Channel Islands team is able to combine local insolvency expertise with the reach and methodology of a large international organisation, giving stakeholders confidence that complex, multi-jurisdictional situations are being managed to a high professional standard.

Recognition as Insolvency Advisory Firm of the Year in Jersey reflects the practice's consistency in protecting enterprise value and delivering measured, well-managed outcomes for stakeholders. With Mr Roberts among its directors, Grant Thornton Channel Islands' Recovery & Reorganisation team continues to offer a considered, commercially minded approach to distressed situations, helping businesses and their financial stakeholders navigate difficulty and, wherever possible, emerge with value preserved.
