Larking Gowen are delighted to announce that Matt Howard has rejoined Larking Gowen as a Partner in our Insolvency & Recovery team.

Matt will be principally based in our Norwich office, but working across the whole of East Anglia, and brings with him extensive insolvency and business recovery experience gained over many years advising businesses, lenders and individuals. Matt joins the firm from another top 50 accountancy practice and will play a key role in continuing to develop our insolvency and recovery offering throughout Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.

Lee Green, Partner in the Insolvency & Recovery team, said:

“I am thrilled to welcome Matt back to Larking Gowen. Matt played a significant role in my own professional development early in my career and I had the privilege of working under him before becoming a Partner myself. He is exceptionally well respected within the insolvency profession and brings a wealth of technical expertise, commercial insight and leadership experience. Matt’s return is a fantastic addition to our team and will further strengthen the service we provide to our clients across the region.”

Speaking about his return, Matt said:

“I am delighted to be returning to Larking Gowen and joining the partnership. The firm has a strong reputation for delivering high-quality advice while maintaining a genuine focus on its people and clients. Having previously worked at the firm, I know first-hand the values and culture that make it such a great place to work. I am excited to be rejoining the team and look forward to supporting our clients and contributing to the firm’s continued success.”

Managing Partner Julie Grimmer added:

“We are delighted to welcome Matt back to Larking Gowen. His appointment reflects our continued commitment to investing in experienced talent and strengthening the breadth of expertise available to our clients. Matt’s knowledge, reputation and leadership qualities will be a tremendous asset to both our people and our clients, and we are excited to have him as part of the partnership.”

His arrival follows another recent milestone for the team, with Sebastian Hall successfully obtaining his insolvency licence. Together, these developments mean that Larking Gowen now has four appointment-taking Insolvency Practitioners.

This depth of expertise reinforces our position as one of the region’s leading insolvency and recovery teams and provides a strong platform for future growth.
