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.

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.

We are the consulting firm known for asking tough questions, listening well, digging in and rolling up our sleeves. We are fact-driven and action-oriented. We move our clients forward, to where they need to be. We are A&M.

Uncover and implement the right solution, at the right time, in the right way.

A&M provides global leadership, problem solving and value creation for companies across industries and around the world. We work as advisers, interim leaders and partners who tell you what you need to know, not always what you want to hear.

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. 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. The same belief is reflected in our approach to good environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices across our firm. We know this enhances A&M’s strong corporate culture grounded in respect, openness, motivation and teamwork, thereby assuring our ability to be responsive to our customers and their clients.

As with so many of our clients, our ESG approach is a journey - one we are committed to taking, with a spirit of continuous improvement. We are confident that our focus on the multiple dimensions of ESG will contribute to a better society and enhance value both for our clients and our firm.

We invite you to learn more about ESG at A&M – and the “how” and “why” that accompanies the “what” for one of the world’s top consulting firms.
