Sian Leonard

Director

Sian joined Isadore Goldman in September 2013 and is now a Director within the firm.

Sian specialises in all aspects of contentious and non-contentious corporate and personal insolvency whether it is acting for the officeholder, director, bankrupt, lender, creditor, or other stakeholder in the insolvent estate.

Sian’s work also involves a lot of front-end work in her advisory role and with transactional work, meeting very short timescales, addressing whatever issues are thrown at her, and ultimately delivering great results for her clients.

Sian is also the main point of contact for some of Isadore Goldman’s lender clients.

Sian has been awarded the 2019 winner for rising star – SME at the Insolvency Practitioner Association awards.

Sian is also heavily involved in R3 as a committee member of the Eastern Region of R3, the Association of Business Recovery Professionals and a member of the R3 London Women’s Group. This allows her to understand, appreciate and hopefully promote the insolvency industry to everyone effected by insolvency.

Sian’s expertise includes advising Oyez Forms on the redrafting of all the insolvency forms following the coming into force of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016. Oyez Forms are used by a significant part of the legal industry.

Always available and goes above and beyond. Exceptional advice and a pragmatic approach.
I had no previous personal understanding of how the process worked but you explained everything to me clearly and set aside all my fears from the outset. I would recommend you highly to anyone and cannot praise you enough. You kept on top of every detail and your diligent and precise approach really made the difference in achieving the successful outcome we did.
I would like to take this opportunity of saying a huge thank you to you for your truly expert help and guidance throughout the last few years. It’s been a rollercoaster experience I never want to go through again but thankfully, with your valued help and generosity, we have now got to a better place where my wife and I can start to rebuild our future. Thanks so much.
Would highly recommend this highly experienced firm that used their great knowledge of the law regarding insolvency/bankruptcy issues to deal with the problem I presented to them in a very thorough way. The results I obtained were as good as I could have wished!
Thank you immensely for all that you have done for me and [family member], I truly could not have got through these last few months without your calm, sensible and understanding help. I had pretty well got to the end of my tether when you came into the picture and I didn’t know which way to turn, but you have cleared a path through our difficulties, sorted our conflicts into manageable decisions and helped me to see what our options were.
