Begbies Traynor Group (BTG)

Founded in 1989 by Ric Traynor as Traynor & Partners, the firm merged with London-based Begbies in 1997 and later became a publicly listed insolvency specialist. It now operates under the BTG brand, with BTG Begbies Traynor as its business recovery and insolvency practice.

BTG advises companies, lenders, creditors, investors and individuals across restructuring, formal insolvency, turnaround, financial advisory, deal advisory and real estate. Its work ranges from administrations, CVAs and restructuring plans to debt advisory, valuations, M&A and asset recovery.

The firm is especially strong in business recovery and insolvency, supported by a broader integrated financial and real estate advisory platform. For students, the work is likely to involve distressed businesses, creditor and stakeholder negotiations, financial analysis, valuations and execution-oriented client mandates rather than conventional strategy consulting.
