NEW YORK--()--Duff & Phelps, the world’s premier provider of governance, risk and transparency solutions, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Borrelli Walsh, a leading specialist restructuring, corporate recovery, insolvency and forensic accounting firm. The combination of Duff & Phelps and Borrelli Walsh strengthens the firm’s restructuring offerings for clients in Asia, the Caribbean and around the world.

Founded in 2006, Borrelli Walsh has been involved in some of the largest and most difficult restructurings, corporate collapses and investigations.

Borrelli Walsh’s suite of services include financial and operational restructuring; corporate recovery and insolvency; corporate advisory, directorships and valuations; financial investigations, forensic accounting and expert witness; and fund and asset management. Its clients include private equity funds, bondholders, local and international banks, public and private companies, regulators and industry bodies, government agencies and family offices.

The Borrelli Walsh team has an unparalleled reputation for delivering solutions to complex, cross-border issues, and we are thrilled to have them join the Duff & Phelps family.”

“The combination of our businesses is a dynamic change, not only in terms of Duff & Phelps’ expansion in Asia and the Caribbean, but for the combined operation internationally,” Borrelli added. “As part of Duff & Phelps, we will continue with our very keen focus on the highest quality and confidential service and advice, and I am confident that our clients will benefit from their global presence, resources and industry focus.”
