About Mark Sands

Mark has nearly 40 years of experience in the insolvency profession, with more than 15 years as an appointment taking insolvency practitioner. Mark’s focus for the last 20 years has been on personal and contentious insolvency cases, with several years spent at a litigation funder reviewing insolvency claims for funding. Mark advises both creditors, on their best options for achieving a recovery, and debtors, guiding them through their option when faced with insolvency, and brings the experience of acting for both sides in what can be very contentious situations to bring a balanced and knowledgeable view for the benefit of all sorts of clients.  Mark worked on several reported personal insolvency cases, which still influence insolvency practice today. Mark’s last few roles have had a national footprint as a result of which Mark is as well known in the regional centres as in London. At Opus Mark is leading and developing our personal insolvency offering.

Mark lives in the Hampshire countryside with his husband, Penny their dog and Pepper their cat, enjoying walks and tending their garden and vegetable patch.
