Nadeem Sweiss

Nadeem specialises in advising distressed businesses, completing strategic and contingency planning reviews on behalf of lenders and investors as well as working with management teams to assess possible options whether that is turnaround/restructure, refinance, sell or exit and within or out of a formal insolvency process.

He began his finance career in 1993 and has spent 24 years working across all the ‘Big4’ accounting firms, both in the UK and overseas, initially working as an auditor for three years and qualifying as a Chartered Accountant before specialising in restructuring and going on to complete his JIEB exams. In late 2017, he took some time out of practice to work as an in-house Finance Director for two companies in the property and construction sector.

Nadeem has worked on many interesting and challenging cases throughout his career, notably JJB Sports Plc and Blacks Leisure Plc, both of which went through two CVA processes followed by an administration involving many varied stakeholders. Additionally, whilst working in Antigua, he led the Judicial Management process of the British American Insurance Company, an insolvency process that impacted investors across the entire Caribbean region, working closely with Government representatives in each region. He also worked on a high-profile administration on a company called Lexi Holdings Plc, a bridging loan company that had defrauded its banks by over £120m. That case involved significant asset tracing in the UK and overseas and was eventually taken over by the SFO to investigate and pursue the directors.

Nadeem has a BA Honours in Accountancy and Finance, is a Chartered Accountant (ACA) and JIEB qualified.
