Global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) announced that Nausheer Allibhoy, Robert Corso, Michael Halliwell and William Snyder have joined the firm’s Valuation Services practice as Managing Directors in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta and Washington, D.C., respectively.

“Asset valuation is critical to the success of a range of business transactions but often difficult to measure accurately,” said John O’Neill, national practice leader of A&M Valuation Services.  “This complexity has spurred us to increase the breadth of skills A&M offers.  Nausheer, Bob, Michael and Bill bring a depth of expertise that will further enhance our proven perspective on the technical, business, regulatory and accounting nuances that underpin valuation.”

He holds a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation from the CFA Institute.

Corso brings broad experience which includes roles at investment bank Houlihan Lokey, and Arthur Andersen.  He has strong functional skills in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, financial management, restructuring, and valuation.  Corso’s experience includes the structuring and sale of a $1 billion distressed loan portfolio and serving as liquidating trustee of a $300 million co-investment fund.  He earned a bachelor’s degree, graduating cum laude, in business and accounting from Fairfield University.  Corso is also a Certified Public Accountant,

Halliwell joins A&M from Taylor Consulting Group, Inc. and brings a strong focus on management advisory services related to mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, business enterprise and intangible asset valuations and strategic management consulting.  For most of his career, he has specialized in the information technology, healthcare, life sciences and communication industries and previously served as the head of KPMG’s regional valuation services information, communication and entertainment practice. Halliwell began his financial career at Merrill Lynch and Company, Inc. as a currency trader. He earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from Auburn University and a master’s degree in business administration from Emory University.
