Howard is Chief Executive of Denton Wilde Sapte. He's a corporate recovery and insolvency lawyer with a banking law background. He has a particular interest in financial services as well as regulatory law, including anti-money laundering regulation and financial services regulation generally.

"I enjoy the challenge of a problem and the rush of dealing with a crisis. Tackling a company's financial problems is a matter of identifying and pursuing what is really key to an enterprise's health.

"The job lets me see some people at their very best - focused, resourceful, and selfless. I also see some people at their worst. It is an intellectually challenging area of law and I enjoy combining time-honoured techniques with the innovative and the unorthodox to achieve a solution."
