Kroll, the independent provider of global financial and risk advisory solutions, has acquired Kirby Healy, a specialist corporate insolvency practice based in Dublin.
The acquisition expands Kroll's restructuring capabilities in Ireland, doubling the size of its local team, and enhancing its offering.
The Kirby Healy team will integrate with Kroll’s existing operations to deliver a wider range of services in Ireland, including fraud and white-collar crime investigations, forensic accounting, litigation support, expert testimony, matrimonial dispute work and shareholder dispute resolution.
The acquisition is part of Kroll’s broader growth strategy in Ireland, aimed at meeting increasing demand for sophisticated restructuring and advisory services.
Kroll's restructuring experts specialize in navigating high pressure contentious situations, offering support in insolvency, enforcement and directorships to guide businesses with practical result-driven strategies.
The acquisition of Kirby Healy brings the number of restructuring experts in Dublin to 26, deepening Kroll’s footprint in Ireland.
Declan Taite, Managing Director at Kroll, said, "We are delighted to welcome Kirby Healy to the team today whose expertise will be instrumental as we continue to grow in Ireland and across Europe.
"Geopolitical tensions are no doubt causing huge uncertainty for Irish businesses, in addition to a wide range of increasing business costs. At Kroll, we're noticing greater proactiveness and much earlier engagement from business owners in seeking professional advice to help address financial distress, as well as ensure timely and transparent engagement with their stakeholders.
"The Kirby Healy team, with their deep industry knowledge and strong track record, will allow us to offer clients a broader set of services and deeper bench strength."
