Building on the scope of its global capabilities, Duff & Phelps has announced a change of name to Kroll.
Kroll was acquired by Duff & Phelps in 2018 and since then, the two organisations have worked closely to integrate their global offering and thus strengthen the range of services available. By unifying under the Kroll name, the firm is presenting the full suite of services and offers a cohesive approach to delivering solutions to the market, including their wide-ranging clients in the Channel Islands.
An independent advisory firm with nearly 5,000 professionals in 30 countries and territories around the world, Kroll specialises in the areas of valuation, expert services, investigations, cyber risk, corporate finance, security, restructuring, legal and business solutions, data analytics, due diligence and regulatory compliance.
Duff & Phelps has been present as a professional services firm in the Channel Islands since 2012 and was quickly established as a leading authority advising on regulation and compliance. Its clients include asset managers, corporate service providers, financial institutions, government and publicly owned utilities and the legal sector.
Globally, Duff & Phelps was founded in 1932 and since then the professional services firm has added more than 30 complementary companies to its portfolio, including Kroll. Together all the brands, have supported its growth and today the newly branded Kroll serves more than 5,000 clients, including 48% of the S&P 500, 61% of the Fortune 100; 85% of the Am Law 100 and 75% of the world’s top tier private equity firms.
Ed Shorrock, Director, Financial Services Compliance & Regulation, Kroll in the Channel Islands, commented: “For our clients in the Channel Islands, it continues to be business as usual from our specialist team in the Jersey office, where our focus had been on regulatory enforcement and supervisory reviews, compliance arrangements, AML controls, risk management and other governance-related matters. More widely, the brand transition to Kroll also emphasises the depth and breadth of our service offering through the global organisation. As a group, we offer both the sharp analytical skills, paired with the latest technology, to give clients clarity in all areas of business.”
“Kroll is offering a seamless experience across its full suite of services, with advisers harnessing the power of technology and their deep expertise to bring tech-forward solutions to the market.”
Ed Shorrock added: “The move gives us a clear, confident and forward-looking outlook, while we continue to retain the high levels of expertise and quality client service on which the business has been built across the Channel Islands. While conditions and markets change, as stewards of good governance, we are committed to providing clients with the clarity they need to ensure compliance, reduce risk, overcome emerging challenges and enhance value.”
The Kroll team continue to be based at their offices on The Esplanade and can be reached at 01534 603130 or ed.shorrock@kroll.com.
