Target

Interpath, founded in 2021 by former members of KPMG's UK branch, is a specialist advisory firm focused on corporate restructuring and financial services. Since its inception, the company has rapidly established a multi-service advisory platform, providing support to corporate finance departments, private equity sponsors, lenders, and other stakeholders. With over 1,000 professionals employed across 12 countries, including the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, the Caribbean, and Hong Kong, Interpath has doubled its operations.
