Adrian Leopard was the third son of Harold Leopard who founded Rabjohns Leopard & Co, chartered accountants, in Worcester in 1945. During the 1950s, Hal was virtually the only insolvency practitioner in the West Midlands! All three of Hal's sons followed him into the practice and were articled to him and qualified as chartered accountants. Adrian, having qualified in 1973, joined what was then known as Whinney Murray in their national insolvency department in Chiswell Street, London where he gained his London experience undertaking insolvency work in many different parts of the country.

Having returned to Worcester, Adrian has been taking insolvency appointments of all types in his own name since 1976 and, therefore, has considerable expertise and experience in the field. In addition, he has operated in international finance, having held a personal fiduciary licence issued by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, and has assisted clients in the resolution of all sorts of commercial and insolvency disputes.

Today Adrian Leopard is the longest standing and most experienced UK insolvency practitioner in the Channel Islands, including both Guernsey and Jersey with extensive experience as an appointment taker.

From the years 1976 to 1982, Adrian was also a member of the Worcester City Council. His other interests have included boating across the English Channel and flying, gaining an American commercial pilot's licence during the 1990s, flying his own N-registered aircraft. He is also a keen classical organist, having at one time been a church organist and choirmaster.

Employed by the company is Anthony Davis, who was admitted to the roll of solicitors in 1978 and who has operated the Adrian Leopard & Company in-house legal department as a non-practising solicitor since 1993. He originally specialised in conveyancing and now handles all property matters within the firm and legal applications within insolvency.
