Gareth Fatchett

Gareth has acquired an exceptionally high profile, both nationally and internationally, in the financial services sector.

He has in-depth experience across a wide variety of failed funds and investments, including Harlequin, Arch Cru, Keydata Investment Services Limited, ARM, Stirling Mortimer, Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes (UCIS), Sustainable Growth Group, Alpha Bank – Cyprus and Green Oil, to name but a few.

Frequently consulted by the media, Gareth has been quoted in numerous articles published by the Financial Times, The Mail on Sunday, FT Adviser and Money Marketing, among others.

His work for regulated firms spans the full range of engagement with the FCA, from basic regulatory enquiries to representing clients before the Upper Tribunal. He also led the British Steel Adviser Group, acting for firms exposed to British Steel pension transfer advice. Testament to the success of this project is the fact that the vast majority of these firms are still trading today.

In addition, Gareth assists firms with M&A projects, from initial brokerage and Change in Control applications through to closures by way of solvent liquidation. This additional depth of experience provides a reassuring influence as firms progress through transactions.

Renowned for his energetic and creative approach, Gareth is adept at finding alternative solutions for clients outside the usual court or regulatory routes. His ability to work collaboratively not only with investor clients, but also with advisers and fund providers and promoters, is a rare skill—one that has made him the unquestioned expert in this particular field.
