Whilst already an established force in the UK market as K roll the move to Zolfo Cooper has further accelerated our position. As specialists in our f ield we are unencumbered by issues of independence which arise when working with larger f irms who provide audit, taxation and other services. This allows us to provide our clients with nimble, innovative and bespoke solutions to their problems - We have been described by one of our major clients as having “ All the strengths of the Big 4 but without all the other trappings” 2008/9 has been a particularly strong year for us and we have assisted clients dealing with the many problems faced in today’s harsh economic environment. We have been involved with management teams and stakeholders operating in some of the hardest hit industry sectors of all including Leisure & Hospitality Business Services, Retail and Automotive. Each of our four service lines of Corporate Finance, Financial Advisory Services, Corporate Recovery and Pensions Advisory Services has had a major part to play in our success. Much of this success has involved us deploying multi-disciplinary teams f rom two or more of these areas and it’s this breadth of skills allied to a depth of industry and situational experience which our clients value so highly. Notable assignments have included the restructurings of British Vita (£730m debt), The Orchid Pub Company (£550m debt) and Barracuda Leisure (£370m debt) plus sale of business mandates at Birthdays, Wagon PLC, Camden Automotive and The Works.
