Manager, E-Discovery

Hilco Global is a diversified financial services, advisory, and capital solutions company with a long-standing reputation for helping clients maximize value, solve complex problems, and navigate critical business moments. Across its platform, Hilco provides a broad range of services and solutions spanning valuation, restructuring, advisory, monetization, transactions, and capital solutions for corporations, lenders, investors, private equity sponsors, boards, and legal counsel.

What differentiates Hilco is the strength and breadth of its platform. The firm is trusted in high-stakes, complex, and often time-sensitive situations where financial, operational, strategic, and legal issues intersect. Hilco brings together deep experience, commercial judgment, and execution capability across the business lifecycle - from healthy companies seeking growth or strategic alternatives to stressed and distressed situations requiring decisive action.

Built on that foundation, Hilco Global is expanding its Global Investigations & Dispute Resolution practice. This growing practice advises clients on matters involving fraud and misconduct investigations, forensic accounting and financial analysis, post-acquisition and other commercial disputes, bribery and corruption matters, asset tracing, investigative due diligence, litigation support, regulatory response, digital forensics and cyber-enabled investigations, e-discovery, and other sensitive situations requiring rigorous analysis, sound judgment, and clear communication.

This is not a standalone niche practice being built in isolation. It is being developed within a powerful platform that already has deep client relationships, strong market credibility, and meaningful adjacency to restructuring, valuation, capital solutions, and other advisory capabilities. For the right professionals, that creates a rare opportunity: the chance to build within an established platform that already matters in the market.

There are many firms that offer investigations, digital forensics, cyber investigations, and e-discovery work. Very few offer the combination of platform strength, market relevance, entrepreneurial upside, and cross-disciplinary opportunity that Hilco does.

Joining Hilco's Global Investigations & Dispute Resolution practice means joining at a time of strong momentum. The practice is being actively built and expanded, with the benefit of Hilco's broader brand, relationships, and capabilities across capital solutions, restructuring, valuation, advisory, and special situations.

For professionals who are ambitious, commercial, and excited by the idea of helping shape a market-facing practice, Hilco offers a differentiated proposition:

·       A powerful platform behind the practice, with meaningful credibility and access across lenders, investors, boards, law firms, and corporate clients

·       A true build opportunity - the chance to help shape a leading global investigations and disputes offering, not simply join a mature team with limited room to influence direction

·       Complex, high-value matters at the intersection of digital evidence, accounting, finance, investigations, disputes, transactions, restructurings, and distressed situations

·       Cross-platform opportunity, with natural adjacency to Hilco's capital solutions, restructuring, valuation, and advisory capabilities

·       Meaningful responsibility and career upside for professionals who combine technical excellence, sound judgment, and initiative
