Jeremy Rowland set up Rowland Law Limited in 2012. He is the sole director and shareholder.
He went to Barnard Castle School in County Durham where he boarded for seven years, leaving in 1984 to study law at the then Leeds Polytechnic. Graduating in 1987 he stayed at Leeds to do the Law Society Finals which he passed first time.
In 1988 he started his two year articled clerkship with Hammond Suddards (the newly merged firms of AV Hammond & Co and Last Suddards) and qualified as a solicitor in 1990 working in the insolvency department.
In 1995 he moved to Ford & Warren, heading up their insolvency department and becoming a partner.
In 2006 he left private practice and went to work as the in house legal director of a non-bank asset finance company for which he had acted for a number of years. This included advising on non-consumer credit loans to business, drafting loan and security documents and then issuing proceedings to recover amounts owing as well as enforcing security through the courts.
After the worldwide financial crash in 2009, the finance company had to collect its ledger which led to over three years of court work. He left the finance company in 2012 and set up Rowland Law Limited doing insolvency and business litigation work.
He is a member of the Law Society and Leeds Law Society as well as a full (non-licence holding) member of R3, the trade association for the UK’s insolvency and restructuring professionals.
Outside of work, he enjoys a variety of music mainly rock and blues based and frequently goes gigging. He is a third generation supporter of Arsenal FC although his main sport is following Sheffield Sharks basketball club. And of course spending time with his wife and four kids.
