About

About the company

Companies, investors and government entities around the world turn to Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) when conventional approaches are not enough to drive change and achieve results. Privately held since its founding in 1983, A&M is a leading global professional services firm that provides advisory, business performance improvement and turnaround management services.


A&M’s leadership is about a bias towards action and the willingness to tell clients what we think is needed. Our restructuring heritage sharpens our ability to act decisively.


Clients select us for our deep expertise and ability to create and deliver practical, rather than theoretical, solutions to their unique problems in addition to our independence/objectivity.


These are the core differences that distinguish us from other management consulting firms.


With over 7,000 people across four continents, we deliver tangible results for corporates, boards, private equity firms, law firms and government agencies facing complex challenges. Our senior leaders, and their teams, help organizations transform operations, catapult growth and accelerate results through decisive action. Comprised of experienced operators, world-class consultants, former regulators and industry authorities, A&M leverages its restructuring heritage to turn change into a strategic business asset, manage risk and unlock value at every stage of growth.

Who we are

Experienced Operators, World-Class Consultants

At A&M, our people are our greatest strength. Their talent, drive, diverse experiences and backgrounds enable us to solve complex challenges, create value and deliver exceptional results for clients around the world. We take pride in maintaining a culture that rewards merit, encourages initiative and supports continuous professional growth. We are comprised of experienced operators, world-class consultants, former regulators and industry authorities who leverage our restructuring heritage to turn change into a strategic business asset, manage risk and unlock value at every stage of growth. Young and experienced professionals seek A&M as an employer of choice, consistently ranking us in the market as a top firm globally for diversity, work/life balance, our firm's leadership, benefits, compensation, internal mobility and level of challenge.

What we do

Practical Solutions to Complex Challenges

We work with companies, governments and entities across the industry spectrum to improve operational and financial performance. Our primary global service lines of corporate performance improvement, private equity services, restructuring & turnaround, tax, disputes and investigations, valuation and regulatory & risk advisory are fueled by our leaders' extensive C-suite experience, business know-how, and roll-up-your sleeves attitude. Our client roster includes AmLaw 100 law firms and Fortune Global 500 companies (over half of the Fortune 100), numerous private equity firms as well as the FTSE 100, the S&P 500 and 21 of 30 of the global SIFI banks. We are the consulting firm known for asking tough questions, listening well, digging in and rolling up our sleeves. We tell clients what they need to know, not always what they want to hear.

Our Purpose

When Action Matters

Our principles of leadership, action and results have guided our growth from turnaround boutique to global professional services firm. In the spirit of our founders, The A&M Way combines fact-based gravitas with a get-it-done mindset. We believe in identifying problems and executing solutions, using data and crunching numbers, taking a 30,000 foot view and also getting into the weeds, giving you the unvarnished truth and standing by your side. When Tony Alvarez and Bryan Marsal joined forces in 1983, it was with the intent of seamlessly linking operations, performance improvement and value creation to best help companies turn areas of stagnation into growth to achieve sustainable results. This ethos remains at the core of our firm.

Our Values

Our Core Values

Our founding principles - Leadership, Action, Results - remain at the heart of A&M. In addition, our six core values influence everything we do, everyone we hire and every client with whom we interact: Integrity, Quality, Objectivity, Personal Reward, Inclusive Diversity, and Fun. From our first email in the morning to our last call at night, our values guide our relationships with each other, our clients and the world. We have maintained a reputation for integrity, quality, professionalism and objectivity since our founding in 1983 by ensuring that all personnel know, uphold and act in accordance with the firm's values.

Why working with us

The A&M Difference

A&M's leadership is about a bias towards action and the willingness to tell clients what we think is needed. Our restructuring heritage sharpens our ability to act decisively. Clients select us for our deep expertise and ability to create and deliver practical, rather than theoretical, solutions to their unique problems in addition to our independence/objectivity. These are the core differences that distinguish us from other management consulting firms. We are objective and independent, without the potential conflicts of public accounting firms and software products to sell. Our dedicated senior leaders have an average of 20+ years of experience and drive day-to-day work and impact. We bring speed, action and execution to every engagement.

Sustainability

ESG & Sustainability Services

ESG has never been so needed or so complex. A&M ESG Services helps companies and private equity firms separate the signal from the noise with a pragmatic approach that not only looks to protect value, but create it. We execute smart sustainability that drives tangible and lasting benefit for our clients and their stakeholders. Our Environmental, Technical and Sustainability Services (ETS) team offers end-to-end support, from assessing regulatory obligations and identifying gaps to implementing robust compliance systems. We help companies create and execute successful decarbonization strategies that position them for financial, reputational, and market advantage. The same belief is reflected in our approach to good environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices across our firm, which enhances A&M's strong corporate culture grounded in respect, openness, motivation and teamwork.

Community & Impact

Giving Back

At A&M, we value engaging with our local communities around the globe and are proud of our professionals' efforts to give back. True to our entrepreneurial spirit, we understand that Community Engagement concerns are fluid and changing. That's why we empower our professionals to donate their time and talents to causes near and dear to their hearts. We know that the added value of global community engagement creates opportunities in a myriad of ways and brings people together. A&M's Giving Back program was formed to develop and support the charitable interests of our communities by providing employees with volunteer opportunities and channeling our contributions to local, US and global charity organizations. More than a quarter of the firm's employees participate in the program, which continues to expand. A&M has proudly supported five general areas of causes across the world: Youth, Cultural and Community Groups, Veterans, Education, and Crisis Response and Relief.

Inclusion & Diversity

Inclusive Diversity

At A&M, we believe in the power of diverse teaming to solve complex problems, create value and drive change for our clients. We are differentiated as a firm by our professionals' unique and varied backgrounds and hands-on experience that allow us to serve myriad industries and geographies with both a practical and innovative approach. We see our professionals' differences as strengths and are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion guided by A&M's core values. Inclusive Diversity became part of our firm's core values in 2020. We encourage our professionals to live our values of integrity, quality, objectivity, fun and personal reward and inclusive diversity daily and to embrace enriching and diverse experiences with clients and colleagues. We are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment that supports creativity, collaboration and meaningful engagement, factors we believe are essential to delivering outstanding client outcomes and building fulfilling, long-term careers.
