Liam Murphy

Professional Profile:

As an Advisory Partner in Halifax, I specialize in complex restructuring, corporate advisory, M&A, and insolvency engagements. My industry experience includes mandates across North America in agriculture, energy, real estate and construction, retail, manufacturing, aerospace, and non-for-profit. I have acted as a financial advisor to companies and lenders, as well as a court officer under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, a trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, and as both a private and court-appointed receiver. I have extensive and recent experience operating in highly regulated industries, and supporting clients and stakeholders through conflict resolution. In addition to being a Chartered Professional Accountant, I’m also a Chartered Insolvency and Restructuring Professional, and a Licensed Insolvency Trustee.

Working in corporate restructuring, I take a measured and analytical approach to help my clients develop and execute a strategy to maximize value in difficult situations. While they may find themselves in stressful times, I do my best to gain a complete understanding of their critical issues by asking questions and gathering business insights, recognizing my clients know their business best, and looking for opportunities to bring creative solutions from across our Advisory practice. I also consult my colleagues on specific tax or financial accounting challenges to make sure I foresee the risks as well as potential benefits to each solution. This ensures my recommendations are based on good data and the collective insights of our team, and that my client gets a comprehensive view of their path forward.
