| | FTI Consulting has launched its London-based European restructuring advisory practice with the hiring of 11 restructuring professionals with significant experience and proven reputations in the European marketplace. The practice provides financial and operational solutions to a broad range of stakeholders, including senior and junior debt providers, shareholders and corporations, and is part of FTI Consulting's restructuring practice in the US.
The London team is led by senior managing directors Kevin Hewitt, Paul Inglis and David Morris, who were formerly | |
|
| | partners within Ernst & Young's restructuring practice. The introduction of this practice marks a key step in the company's plans to build a European restructuring practice with complementary transaction advisory capabilities.
Dominic DiNapoli, executive vice president and chief operating officer of FTI Consulting said, "We are excited to have Kevin, Paul, David and the wider team on board. They are local market leaders with excellent reputations and the experience and relationships necessary to generate new opportunities for growth going forward. The FTI | |
|
| | European restructuring practice promises the market a credible new alternative with greater flexibility and fewer conflicts than its major competitors."
He added: “With the FD acquisition, FTI extended its presence into many of the key business and financial centres in Europe. Our London-based restructuring practice takes this one step further by broadening the range of solutions that we are able to bring to clients. Europe is an important area of growth for us and we believe that we have the right team in place at the right time to capitalise on this potential."
Hewitt, senior | |
|
| | managing director of the European restructuring practice, said: "I am delighted to be launching with a team of 13 senior restructuring professionals who are already taking on assignments. We have adopted a flexible business model allowing us to bring the most appropriate team and resources to an assignment to drive the implementation of restructuring solutions. The strength of our team will be enhanced by the deep talent pool of FTI professionals as well as key strategic alliances that will allow us to immediately draw on industry expertise and the capabilities of other | |
|
| | transaction advisory professionals."
He added, "We will be hiring new talent into our business and looking at potential acquisitions to accelerate our European growth strategy. My sense is that the key restructuring talent in the market is giving serious consideration, now, as to where they want to be positioned when the current credit cycle comes to an end. Our launch is therefore very timely in offering a real differentiated choice in the market."
