Top UK rankings and further growth for Darwin Gray’s dedicated insolvency team

October 19, 2026

Darwin Gray has doubled its dedicated insolvency team in the last 12 months, making our firm one of the largest dedicated insolvency teams in Wales and the south West of England to be ranked in two prestigious UK-wide legal directories.

Headed by renowned insolvency specialist, Mark Rostron, our insolvency team has achieved a Band 1 ranking in both Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 for 2026/2027, with Mark ranked as a top individual as well as a spotlight on positive feedback for Senior Associate, Kate Heaney. With over 25 years of experience in insolvency law, Mark has been a ranking lawyer in legal directories for 19 years.

Mark Rostron said: “It is no mean feat to feature in band 1 in both directories and it’s fantastic to see this recognition, which not only highlights the peer and client feedback that we receive but is also testament to the hard work and dedication of our team.”

Our insolvency team has recently welcomed two new members, Solicitor Charles Collar and Paralegal, Alicia Roberts. This doubling of the team is an example of the our significant growth over the past number of years, having seen both the Cardiff and north Wales offices double in size to accommodate the rapid expansion.

Mark added: “We are thrilled to have Charles and Alicia join the team. The growth of the team is reflective of the demand and quality of work that we’re delivering. I am looking forward to the future of the team as we continue to expand and build our client base.”
