Bringing together our existing Turnaround and Restructuring team with our new colleagues from THM Partners, we will deliver the EMEA market’s most comprehensive suite of restructuring services to support companies, management teams, their boards and financial stakeholders to identify, grow, protect and maximise value against a backdrop of ever increasing disruption and economic uncertainty.
"I’m personally excited, as is the wider TRS team, to welcome our new colleagues from THM Partners to AlixPartners. This combination is ideal for the market and headwinds businesses are facing.
As we integrate the THM team into our team I anticipate great things. Culturally we’re very aligned, many of us know each well from previous engagements, so I’m keen to see the team come together and get to work."

"So even before you add on a global pandemic, which is challenging operationally for even the most well-run companies with the strongest balance sheets, we were seeing disruption. I think depending on the business, there will certainly be opportunities for some of these businesses that maybe were thinking about getting rid of non-core assets. This could be an opportunity for them to get back to basics, to focus on core operations and to see if certain assets would perform better with a different owner."
