1. BTG GLOBAL ADVISORY
A GROUND-BREAKING MODEL IN ADVISORY SERVICES
A group of independent boutique advisory firms strategically located around the globe have joined
together to form an innovative partnership called BTG Global Advisory. BTG Global Advisory (BTG
GA) is an alliance of the top global boutique firms in the restructuring advisory space. The alliance
was formed in June 2015 by six founding member firms. Today, there are nine firms operating
under the BTG GA umbrella across five continents. More details can be found on the alliance’s website
(www.btgga.com).
All of the BTG GA firms are well-respected and highly ranked in their respective local markets. For exa-
mple, PLUTA is regarded as one of the top tier restructuring and insolvency administration firms in Ger-
many by Legal 500, Best Lawyers and ACQ Global. In addition, the firm has received various accolades
from Focus and European CEO. Similarly, GlassRatner is ranked among the Top 15 Crisis Management
firms in the US by The Deal.
1
Together the firms making up BTG GA focus on business problems ranging from
Restructuring and Insolvency to Operational Turnaround, and from Litigation Support
to Risk Consulting and M&A in almost any location worldwide. Collectively, the nine
member firms have more than 140 offices and about 1,400 employees. This gives the
alliance significant resources, allowing it to compete effectively with large multi-natio-
nal firms such as the Big 4 on certain assignments.
2. Many of BTG GA’s member firms have been in existence for as long as 30 years, and the top leaders
at each firm have many years of solid experience in their defined specialty. The firms are staffed by en-
trepreneurial decision-makers with significant ‘sharp end’ experience, and have a strong mid-market
focus. They also assume significant roles in larger restructuring cases.
BTG GA has enabled its individual member firms to leverage a cross-border offering to grow more
rapidly than would otherwise have been possible and to service clients’ needs outside local borders.
All of the member firms are now receiving referrals from other firms in the network, and in many cases
these come from outside of their respective traditional areas of specialization. This would not have been
possible without the BTG GA alliance. When appropriate, the BTG GA partners also collaborate actively
on larger international assignments.
This close interaction between the member firms is a key reason for the group’s ability to provide a
comprehensive, worldwide, “one-stop shopping” experience for clients. BTG GA’s member firms can
now offer cost-effective, value-adding, local, market-based restructuring and other financial advisory
services.
The member firms are all focused on forming and maintaining a tightly-knit network through a num-
ber of key initiatives such as monthly board meetings by conference call, regular physical meetings of
key partners and managing directors on specific issues, sharing of best practice, pooling of expertise,
secondments, etc.
2
Member firms engage with client companies that typically have a turnover in the
EUR 50 – 500 million range, but are capable of taking on larger assignments, par-
ticularly with the support of their fellow BTG GA members. Moreover, the group as
a whole has about 150 partner level and senior staff members. The larger member
firms within the group, such as Begbies Traynor Group and PLUTA, advise clients
on up to 1,000 cases a year.
The primary reasons for the success of the cross-referrals, unanimously cited
by managing partners of all BTG GA member firms, have been the strength and
depth of the collaboration between the member firms, and the regular and on-
going communication.

4. In addition to advising clients across the various geographies represented by its members, BTG GA
actively introduces its financial partners to companies needing restructuring funding. This is a vital ingre-
dient in the range of professional expertise and services offered by its members. BTG GA is able to do
this by leveraging its members’ extensive range of contacts in numerous financial communities around
the globe to maximize both the sources of funding available to its clients and the opportunities available
to its financial partners.
With its global network BTG GA is able to reassure its clients regarding any concerns they might have
about the costs, delays, difficulties and distractions that can sometimes accompany assignments in
different parts of the world. BTG GA’s coordinated network ensures that client assignments are carried
out efficiently on the ground in each local market.
Consultants are allocated to client engagements based not only on the local market levels of fee com-
pensation, but also on their experience and expertise within the client’s target sector. A local client rela-
tionship manager manages the case on the ground and instructs international members appropriately.
In order to maintain the highest standards of professional performance, all professionals undertaking
work for members of BTG GA have appropriate credentials and comply with annual Continuing Profes-
sional Development (CPD) programs to ensure they remain up to date with market developments and
fully aware of the latest legislation to be able to implement it in accordance with the rules and regulations
applicable in the client’s jurisdiction.
As with any dynamic, thriving professional organization, BTG GA is constantly looking for ways to de-
velop its client service resources. In this regard, the next phase in the growth trajectory of BTG GA is to
extend the network by adding quality advisory firms in South America and the Middle East to cope with
the growing demand for restructuring and advisory services in those regions. BTG GA is also constantly
adding quality professionals to improve and diversify its professional services offerings within its existing
geographic footprint.
