AlixPartners acquires KSV Advisory

AlixPartners just made a bold move in Canada, snapping up KSV Advisory and instantly deepening its bench with 37 restructuring pros and offices in both Toronto and Calgary. This isn’t just about new signage—KSV’s high-profile insolvency experience now plugs into AlixPartners’ global platform, meaning they can finally compete for the country’s biggest, most complex cross-border files. The timing couldn’t be sharper, as tariff and interest rate jitters keep Canada’s mid-market distressed deals flowing, especially with energy in the spotlight out west. But success will hinge on more than a press release; cracking a marquee CCAA or CBCA mandate will prove whether this is a true Canadian flagship or just a beachhead.

Meanwhile, AlixPartners is navigating turbulence in the sports world, advising LIV Golf as the league scrambles for $250 million in new funding. With Saudi Arabia’s PIF pulling back, bankruptcy talk has hit the table—raising the stakes for players, sponsors, and the broader sports business, especially if private equity gets involved. Fast, decisive moves are needed before the season ends in August; if fresh capital doesn’t land by October, restructuring could turn from a threat into reality.
