A bridge to liquidity

Bridgepoint has opened the year decisively, agreeing to acquire Interpath, the former KPMG restructuring arm, in a £800 million transaction that more than doubles HIG Capital’s 2021 entry price. The deal hands control of a scaled professional services platform to Bridgepoint, which sees Interpath not just as a counter‑cyclical advisory business, but as a base for international expansion. The firm will look to accelerate this path to growth in the coming years. Partner Charles Welham highlighted renewed momentum behind “scaling the business in key markets,” as Interpath continues its evolution from a pure‑play restructuring outfit into a broader corporate finance and advisory platform, five years after its Big Four carve‑out. By assuming control, Bridgepoint sets a measured course for Interpath’s international ambitions.
