Alex Cadwallader

A versatile winger and centre, Alex Cadwallader’s rugby career took him to various different professional teams in the late ‘90s and early 2000’s. After coming through the traditional national age group setups in union, Alex’s first taste of professionalism was actually in rugby league when he signed for the London Broncos academy in 1997.

After leaving school, Alex agreed professional terms with Bristol, becoming their youngest ever Premiership player at the time when he took the field alongside Frank Bunce and opposite Will Carling. During his three years with Bristol, Alex combined his career with obtaining a degree in economics at the University of Bath and went on to represent England at the U21 World Cup in South Africa in 2002.

Further moves to Newport and Newcastle Falcons followed in 2002 and 2003, before Alex chose to step away from full-time professional rugby and embark on a career in restructuring. Once he settled on this career path, he laced up his boots again, playing semi-professionally for London Welsh for another four years before a final stint with Rosslyn Park.

Having become a licensed insolvency practitioner in 2007 and a partner at a boutique London restructuring firm, Alex joined Leonard Curtis in 2011. With the support of his colleagues, he has made a significant contribution to the growth of Leonard Curtis, especially in the South of England and offshore locations, as a well respected restructuring adviser. He is an industry leader in dealing with high-value and complex real estate and financial services restructuring matters. Alex, who sits on the Leonard Curtis board of directors, created the concept of its Business of Sport series in 2024 and continues to drive its direction with the wider team.
