About Alvarez & Marsal

Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) is not a traditional strategy consulting firm; it is the 'special forces' of the corporate world. Founded in 1983, A&M built its reputation by stepping into companies facing bankruptcy or massive operational crises. Instead of just writing advisory reports, A&M partners often take on interim C-suite roles (CEO, CFO, CRO) to actively run and rescue the distressed company.

A&M is most famous for managing the liquidation of Lehman Brothers after the 2008 financial crash. Today, while it retains its crown in restructuring, it has expanded heavily into private equity performance improvement, disputes and investigations, and traditional management consulting.
