“Martin is one of the leading restructuring experts in Québec, and I am thrilled to welcome him to FTI Consulting,” said Greg Watson, Leader of Canada and Latin America Corporate Finance & Restructuring at FTI Consulting. “Martin’s extensive knowledge of and deep experience in the Québec market will enable us to advise clients locally on restructurings, turnarounds, transformations and transactions when they face financial difficulties, building on our existing presence in major commercial capitals in Canada.”
