With this deal, 13 CBW Recovery staff members will join Moore Kingston Smith.

Matt Meadows, managing partner of Moore Kingston Smith commented, “With insolvencies on the rise, the need for skilled, trusted advisers to help clients navigate the challenges they’re facing, with the ability and understanding required, is greater than ever.”

This move expands and strengthens Moore Kingston Smith’s restructuring and insolvency practice. CBWR brings expertise across all types of insolvency appointments and advisory work, complementing the firm's existing services.

Their strong presence in the non-profit sector also boosts Moore Kingston Smith’s leadership in audit and advisory services for this space.

Joe Colley, Partner at CBW Recovery commented, “This is a pivotal moment for CBW Recovery and a step we’re taking to further our ability to best help those navigating tough and complex situations. Beyond clients’ restructuring and insolvency needs, they now have instant access to experts across a multi-disciplinary professional services practice, plus an international reach through the Moore Global network.”

Moore Kingston Smith is a UK-based professional services firm that, like several others recently, has secured private equity investment to support its mergers and acquisitions strategy. However, unlike many peers, it has retained its traditional partnership structure.
