GlassRatner Advisory & Capital Group, a leading financial advisory services firm with deep roots in the bankruptcy and restructuring, due diligence and forensic accounting area, is targeting international growth by participating in the launch of a worldwide group of independent insolvency and restructuring firms.
 
The new organization BTG Global Advisory represents financial institutions, law firms, private equity and other funds, bankruptcy debtors and creditor committees, operating companies, and other businesses and stakeholders affected by distress. BTG Global Advisory has a particular focus on Europe, the Middle East and Africa, North American and Australasia regions. The group will also provide enhanced coverage in international investment banking activity.
 
The new grouping of like-minded and entrepreneurial specialist firms means that GlassRatner can now serve its clients and relationships with access to top tiered international experts in a seamless and efficient manner.
 
Nigel Atkinson, Chief Executive of BTG Global Advisory, said: "As one of the world's leading specialist independent insolvency and restructuring group's we have complete industry sector coverage, and all of our members are well-established and trusted professionals within each of their regions, giving us invaluable local knowledge globally.
 
"The wide range of skills at our disposal means that we are not limited to providing restructuring and insolvency services to distressed businesses, but can offer a complete range of services to underperforming businesses and their stakeholders, including turnaround advisory and implementation, performance improvement consulting, and loan workout."
 
GlassRatner co-founder Ian Ratner added, "This development is very exciting as it allows us to continue to grow internationally. We have already done a good bit of work in the Caribbean and have successfully executed assignments abroad, but now we can truly offer an integrated global team.  This organization is not a loose alliance; the member firms all know each other, have developed strong personal bonds, and are investing together to ensure long term success.
