Matthew Donohoe joins Moorfields Advisory from Big Four firm

Moorfields Advisory has strengthened its senior team with Matthew Donohoe, who will lead the firm’s restructuring and turnaround advisory team.

Matthew Donohoe brings around two decades of experience in turnaround and restructuring to the London-based recovery specialist.

Appointed a director (one of the firm’s seven directors), Donohoe will oversee the team of advisors that helps clients with turnaround, crisis management, improving business performance, refinancing, and cash flow management.

During his career, Donohoe also worked in corporate finance and debt advisory, gaining expertise in deal strategies, independent business reviews, transactional diligence, pre-lending reviews, working capital optimisation, and funds recovery.

Donohoe joined Moorfields Advisory from EY, where he spent four years, most recently as an Assistant Director. Before that, he spent eight years at ReSolve, a London-based business advisory and investment firm.

“We are delighted to welcome Matthew. Now that government support measures have ended, many businesses are showing signs of financial distress of some sort. We want to assist both borrowers and lenders to work together providing guidance to alleviate and avoid problems. Matthew is an experienced advisor who will confront issues head on and respond with sustainable solutions.”

Commenting on his new challenge, Donohoe said: “I am delighted to be joining the Moorfields team, they embrace the rescue and turnaround culture and are keen to support businesses throughout their life cycle. These are challenging times for the business market and I look forward to applying my experience and knowledge to assist directors and lenders in confronting issues early to preserve and protect value.”
