Walker said: “I am very pleased to join Mercer and Hole and look forward to working with a broad range of clients, including unincorporated businesses and limited companies, as well as individuals in financial distress. My focus will be on helping people and businesses who find themselves facing difficult circumstances, offering clear pathways through uncertainty.”

Shaun brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in helping clients navigate what can be a very difficult and sometimes distressing time to help them achieve a clear way forward to allow them to move on.”
