Alvarez & Marsal

Company Profile

Alvarez & Marsal was founded in 1983 in New York and is one of the world’s pre-eminent advisory firms. A&M’s culture and values put practical, senior-led, action-oriented advice at the heart of everything we do. We believe our advice should lead to recommendations for our clients, not just options. 

Our UK private capital team, a mix of corporate and personal tax specialists, offers holistic advice to entrepreneurs, their businesses and their family offices, making sure that there is consistent advice across both the personal and business interests. Our dedicated team is based in London, Manchester and Birmingham. We take time to listen to each client’s needs and deliver exceptional service and advice tailored to their unique circumstances.

We pride ourselves on a proactive and action-oriented approach. Rather than simply suggesting opportunities, we prioritise practical solutions and work collaboratively with other advisers to ensure that any necessary changes are implemented effectively. Our clients value the insights and recommendations we present to them, as well as our ability to respond quickly and thoughtfully to their needs.

A defining feature of our service is direct access to our most senior advisers, who are actively involved in delivering advice rather than offering oversight from a distance. We combine corporate and personal tax expertise within one team, giving us a deep understanding of the critical interplay between business and personal financial considerations.

As an independent, privately owned and entrepreneurial firm, we are able to commit to long-term client relationships. Without the conflicts of an audit practice, our lean, client-first delivery model ensures that we always put clients’ needs first. Our entrepreneurial culture also mirrors that of our clients, enabling us to bring the same mindset and energy to our work.

Through this approach, our private capital team delivers bespoke advice and integrated solutions across a wide range of areas. These include acquisition and disposal tax planning, personal and business succession strategies, cross-border movements, corporate restructuring and refinancing, as well as group and personal tax advisory and compliance. By combining technical expertise with practical execution, we help clients manage complexity, plan effectively for the future and unlock opportunities for growth and continuity.
