The Birmingham insolvency heads at both DLA Piper and Wragge & Co have quit, it has emerged today (6 October), in a move that will raise eyebrows around the close-knit Midlands legal community.

DLA Piper’s Midlands insolvency chief Jeremy Bowden left the 38-partner office, where he heads up the business support and restructuring practice, on 1 October, while Wragges’ Maria Collingridge will leave next year.
