Charlie Parker

Overview

I am an Associate in the Banking, Restructuring, and Insolvency team.

I regularly act for institutional and alternative lenders on a range of debt transactions, with a particular focus on secured lending (including development and bridge financing). I also advise commercial borrowers on acquisition finance and term facility refinancings, and have experience advising on debt and security issues in accelerated and distressed M&A transactions.

I joined Michelmores as a Trainee Solicitor in September 2021 and qualified in September 2023, having completed seats in the Banking, Restructuring, and Insolvency, Corporate, Projects, and Employment teams.

Prior to joining Michelmores, I gained several years’ experience as a paralegal in the corporate department of a leading global law firm. Before entering the legal industry, I was as an Account Manager for a major European IT distribution company.

Outside of work, I enjoy keeping fit, whether in the gym or hiking, and I am an avid (but not talented!) chess player. I also support Brighton and Hove Albion and the Miami Dolphins as an armchair sports enthusiast.
