Recovery Corporate Finance

We provide corporate finance and transaction services advice to clients in the context of a challenging economic environment – but one in which investment opportunities exist to consolidate business entities, restructure, refinance, and change the financial structure.

At RSM Farrell Grant Sparks, we identify these opportunities for our clients and work with them to make the most of these opportunities. Our firm is particularly strong in this area, and Pearse Farrell, Declan Taite and Ian Duffy are Partners with in-depth expertise from handling many complex recovery deals.

RSM Farrell Grant Sparks has a large Insolvency team, whose expertise, in conjunction with corporate finance, places us in an ideal position to identify merger and acquisition opportunities from assets or businesses in difficulty, and to optimise subsequent deal structures.

Our experience of acting for buyers of distressed businesses gives us the track record to effect efficient execution and turnaround.
