The practice welcomes leading infrastructure expert Sam Roberts as Managing Director in Brisbane

Sydney – September 18, 2025 – Leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal’s (A&M) Global Transaction Advisory Group (Global TAG) continues the expansion of its Australian business (TAG Australia), welcoming Sam Roberts as its first Managing Director in Brisbane. Mr. Roberts’ expertise sits atop two decades of financial due diligence with extensive experience in infrastructure, and his role marks TAG Australia’s deliberate foray into the sector – underscoring A&M's commitment to expanding its global infrastructure capabilities, geographic reach and delivering unparalleled value to clients throughout the deal lifecycle.

Mr. Roberts, most recently an M&A Transactions Services Partner in Deloitte’s Financial Advisory team, specializes in buy- and sell-side transaction mandates. In addition to his considerable infrastructure expertise, Mr. Roberts advises private equity, pension, and sovereign wealth clients across the transport, digital, wider energy and healthcare sectors. His appointment is a strategic complement to other leading industry experts in both infrastructure and energy that A&M has welcomed into the region in recent months, including a new senior advisor for its energy sector vertical, Audrey Zibelman.

Paul Aversano, Managing Director and Global Practice Leader of Global TAG, commented, "Since we entered Australia over two years ago, the gates have opened for Global TAG to take market share in order to provide a differentiated, premier offering to clients – we’ve done that and then some. With our foundations in place, we continue to mature our offering in the region and expand our sector expertise – bringing in experts like Sam is critical to this effort, whose specialty exposure will help guide clients through increasingly complex transactions in the infrastructure and wider energy spaces, and in unison with A&M’s full offering in the region, help uncover value-driven opportunities.”

David Willis, Managing Director and TAG Australia Practice Leader, added, "The addition of Sam to our team is a testament to our ongoing efforts to redefine the transaction advisory landscape in Australia. Sam’s sector experience in infrastructure combined with our integrated due diligence approach will allow us to offer more comprehensive solutions to our clients, ensuring they are successful investors."

Mr. Roberts expressed enthusiasm about joining A&M, stating, "I am thrilled to be part of a firm that values innovation and client-centric solutions. I look forward to collaborating with the talented team at A&M to address the unique challenges and opportunities within the infrastructure sector."
