Simeon qualified as a solicitor in 1992 having read Law and French at Leicester and Strasbourg universities. Simeon has both contentious and transactional insolvency expertise, advising insolvency practitioners, banks, distressed companies and individuals in a wide range of both corporate and personal insolvency matters. His transactional work has an administration bias with the preparation of business sales being a particular specialism. Simeon's contentious cases included challenges to inter-linked Company Voluntary Arrangements, the tracing of assets overseas in bankruptcy, defending directors in disqualification proceedings and pursuing directors in relation to each of pre-insolvency dispositions and misfeasance.

Simeon has edited and written works on Company Meetings in insolvency proceedings and the disqualification legislation for directors. He has also lectured insolvency practitioners and banking staff on procedural and substantive elements of insolvency law and practice. Having lived and studied in France, Simeon is bilingual.
