“Prolonged high interest rates and escalating costs are leading companies to look for ways to improve the effectiveness of their business operations and drive value,” Kevin Clancy, global director of the restructuring and dispute resolution practice at CohnReznick, said. “Entering 2024, we expect many companies will seek restructuring and related services, and we are excited to expand our capabilities for them with the addition of Mike. His tenure within the industry, breadth of knowledge, and leadership experience will play a key role in serving our clients while also growing our practice.”
