London, Cayman Islands
About Alyson
I am a commercial litigation solicitor with over 10 years experience. I am widely experienced in dispute resolution and have a specialism in insolvency litigation and business restructuring. Prior to joining Gunnercooke, I worked as a solicitor at Clarke Willmott and Harrison Clark.
I mainly act for:
- shareholders or partners involved in shareholder/partnership disputes
- individuals/companies aggrieved at (or accused of) breach of contract claims
- individuals/companies requiring swift debt recovery action
- creditors requiring advice on asset recovery from debtors (often when it is suspected that the debtor is in financial difficulty)
- directors facing potential claims from liquidators or administrators (preference claims, unlawful dividends, transactions at an undervalue)
- companies and their directors in restructurings, financial turnaround, business sales and purchases as well as litigation in distressed and insolvent scenarios
- bankruptcy related claims

- Hired Alyson for: Dispute (general commercial)

Verified Lexoo client
Alyson provided extremely practical advice on a small but complex insolvency and litigation situation, quickly understanding the essential issues and delivering a balanced and cost-effective way forward.

Thought the case was lost due to the time Alyson was introduced into the case. Herself and Chris her partner did all they could do but because judgement had already been passed it was difficult to get an appeal. They didn’t charge me extra for the extra work done. I will be using them in the near future for all legal works.

Alyson helped me retrieve money established by an email contract from a company in Cayman islands for services delivered to the company. The CEO of the company didn't even reply to my emails for 6 months and thanks to Alyson, the CEO started taking this matter seriously which directly led to an agreement and compensation paid for delivered services. Alyson showed excellent communication and negotiations skills. Thank you,

Even though the outcome of my case isn’t clear yet I can honestly say that she is the best solisitor I have had encounter so far. Very understanding and clear in communication without unnecessary jargon. Very responsive too. I only regret that I didn’t hire her first and wasted money with someone else before her. I would absolutely recommend Alyson to anyone in need of great solisitor.

From the moment my request went out, Alyson was responsive, clear and approachable. She has been such a huge help and we are still working with her at the moment. Both my co-founder and I have been really impressed and wouldn't hesitate to work Alyson again (although we hope we don't have to for obvious reasons!).

Lawyer excellent - I am on track to get the outcome I want without having to take legal action and a third party has already paid my legal fees to keep me onside. I don't think I could have managed that with Alyson Reilly's timely advice.

I was looking for a lawyer in the UK to assist me (Dutch lawyer) with writing a memo on certain aspects of Dutch and UK law. Alyson was very quick to respond and delivered above expectations. Would recommend.

Alyson was invaluably helpful in the process of winding up my startup. She executed all tasks with professionalism and urgency, but most importantly she went out of her way to offer advice that greatly improved the outcome of the process. All our communication was done remotely but very efficiently thanks to her responsiveness and availability both on email and phone. I'd recommend Alyson 100%.

Alyson was incredibly thorough in her approach, and after a series of strong communications, she was able to draw matters to a successful conclusion on my part. Alyson's approach was fair, understanding and very reasonable with an exceptionally high level of service. I cannot rate Alyson Reilly highly enough."
