About Alvarez & Marsal

Alvarez & Marsal ("A&M"), the leading independent global professional services firm specializing in performance improvement, turnaround management and corporate advisory services, first established itself in Hong Kong in 2003. The firm has since expanded its footprint to cover the entire Asia region with offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai.

Alvarez & Marsal's expansion into Asia reflects a change in the market place for performance improvement and restructuring services, and in particular, the increasing audit-based conflicts arising from Sarbanes-Oxley legislation requirements for greater corporate governance and independence. Asian companies turn to Alvarez & Marsal to unlock value from underperforming divisions, help avoid profitability and liquidity challenges before they arise, and turn loss-making business units into viable, profit-generating operations.

Rather than limit performance improvement efforts to purely financial restructuring, private equity firms and hedge funds increasingly rely on Alvarez & Marsal to effect substantial operational and management changes, which further enhance the value of their investments. Alvarez & Marsal works with private equity firms, hedge funds and corporate acquirers to identify and maximize value at every point in the transaction lifecycle.

With the firm's leading position in North America and Europe, Alvarez & Marsal in Asia offers clients access to experienced resources on a truly global basis. Moreover, combining the regional team's expertise in creditor driven services and forensic accounting with Alvarez & Marsal's recognized capabilities in corporate / debtor turnaround and interim management enables the firm to deliver comprehensive solutions around the world. As a privately held, owner-operated firm that does not offer audit and assurance services, Alvarez & Marsal's distinctive business model promotes unmatched client service without potential conflicts of interest.
