Private equity investor Bridgepoint has agreed a deal to acquire a majority stake in international financial advisory firm Interpath.
When completed, the transaction will mark a successful exit for H.I.G. Capital, which has supported the business since its carve-out from KPMG UK in 2021. The business has more than doubled EBITDA in that period.
Terms of the potential transaction were not disclosed.
Interpath provides support across restructuring and turnaround, deals and broader advisory services to corporates, private equity sponsors, lenders and other stakeholders.
The firm employs over 1,000 professionals globally across 12 countries including the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, the Caribbean and Hong Kong. Its senior management team will continue to lead the business following completion.
With Bridgepoint鈥檚 support, Interpath says it will focus on accelerating its international expansion.
Bridgepoint has previously or currently supported a significant number of professional services firms including Alpha FMC, HKA, HT Digital, Analysys Mason, Argon & Co, Forward Global and ERM.
