Andy Pear

Andy Pear is a partner at Moorfields Advisory Limited, the London-based restructuring and insolvency practice recognised as Corporate Recovery Advisory Firm of the Year in England at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. A chartered accountant and UK licensed insolvency practitioner with more than thirty years' experience in restructuring and advisory work, he is among the firm's most seasoned specialists in helping businesses and their lenders navigate financial distress.

Pear's career spans senior roles across leading accountancy firms in restructuring, insolvency and turnaround, before he co-founded BM Advisory in 2011. That practice merged with Moorfields Advisory in 2022, bringing his long track record in lender advisory and business turnaround into one of the recognised names in UK corporate recovery. His core expertise covers business turnaround and restructuring, secured lender advisory, formal insolvency procedures, cash flow and operational improvement, and the management of stakeholders and risk during periods of financial stress.

Moorfields Advisory offers a broad range of services organised around insolvency and recovery, restructuring, financial advisory, real estate and commercial finance. The firm is known for a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach to companies facing difficulty, working to preserve value and, where possible, to rescue viable businesses or maximise returns for creditors when a formal process becomes unavoidable. Its advisers act for directors, lenders, investors and other stakeholders, providing clear guidance at moments when timely, well-judged decisions are critical.

Corporate recovery advisory is a demanding discipline that combines financial analysis, statutory insolvency knowledge and practical commercial judgment. Practitioners must balance the interests of multiple parties, from secured lenders and creditors to shareholders and employees, while operating within a strict regulatory framework and often under significant time pressure. Andy Pear's dual qualification as a chartered accountant and licensed insolvency practitioner, together with three decades of hands-on turnaround experience, equips him to assess options quickly and to steer stressed situations towards the best achievable outcome.

Within Moorfields Advisory, Pear focuses on secured lender relationships and turnaround assignments, advising banks and other funders as well as the businesses they support. His emphasis on operational and cash flow improvement reflects a philosophy that early, decisive intervention frequently offers the greatest chance of preserving a business and its stakeholders' interests. The Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 recognition as Corporate Recovery Advisory Firm of the Year in England highlights the standing of Moorfields Advisory and partners such as Andy Pear in the restructuring and insolvency market.
