Grant Thornton UK has been ranked as the number one creditor side financial advisor for mid-market restructurings, and number two restructuring mid-market financial advisor and company-side financial advisor, in Octus’s EMEA advisor rankings 2024.
Octus’s EMEA Advisor Rankings examine the number of mandates on which legal and financial advisors have been engaged for newly initiated processes in restructurings, for both company-side and creditor-side, per calendar year.
The recognition follows a successful year for the Restructuring team in which they advised on a number of engagements, including being engaged to act as an independent advisor to a Madagascan mining business in respect of the company’s proposed UK Restructuring Plan, being appointed as joint special administrators of global money transfer businesses Small World Financial Services Group and LCC Trans-Sending Limited, and selling certain business and assets of a bar and nightclub operator through an administration.
Grant Thornton’s restructuring, pensions and debt advisory (RPDA) team welcomed nine new joiners in 2024 along with eight internal promotions, including Hina Patel and Sam Dean’s promotions to director in the London team.
At the start of this year, the firm also welcomed Debbie King as partner to its RPDA leadership team. She will contribute to the growth of the practice through leading large and complex cases and developing relationships with lenders and legal advisers both in the UK and internationally.
Commenting on the accolade, Kevin Coates, head of RPDA, Grant Thornton UK LLP, said: “We are delighted to once again be recognised and named as a lead advisor in the Octus EMEA 2024 advisor rankings for the mid-market, continuing our strong ranking in 2023. The recognition is a testament to our team’s continued commitment to providing our clients with quality advice and strategic support.
“We would like to thank our clients and partners for their continued trust and support as we continue to work with them to both navigate the often-uncertain environment in which they operate and preserve and enhance value in 2025 and beyond.”
