Fox Williams has advised independent restructuring practice THM Partners LLP on its sale to global consulting firm AlixPartners. The transaction involved AlixPartners acquiring THM’s UK, German and Singaporean businesses.

The Fox Williams M&A deal team was led by partner Doug Preece, supported by senior associate Beth Silkin and associate Georgie Glover.
