GlassRatner Acquired by TorQuest Partners, Reestablishes Itself as an Independent Brand
Embarks on a New Chapter of Growth and Innovation
Atlanta, GA, June 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GlassRatner Advisory & Capital Group, LLC (“GlassRatner”), a leading provider of specialty professional and advisory services has reestablished itself as an independent brand following its acquisition by TorQuest Partners from B. Riley Financial, Inc. earlier today.
With a 24-year legacy of delivering high-value financial advisory solutions, GlassRatner has built a reputation for excellence in Restructuring, Turnaround Management & Bankruptcy Consulting; Forensic Accounting & Litigation Support; and Transaction Support Services—such as Due Diligence and Quality of Earnings Reviews. In recent years the firm has successfully expanded its reach into Engineering & Construction Consulting, Risk & Resilience Consulting and Executive Search & Interim Management.
“Our brand and culture remain as vibrant and dynamic as ever. We have one of the strongest teams in the industry and are well poised for continued growth. We are well organized, well financed and committed to our clients. Over the past 24 years, we’ve been a trusted partner for top law firms, lenders, and private equity investors, tackling some of the most complex and high stakes matters. With approximately 200 team members and a dozen locations I feel like we are just getting started,” said Ian Ratner, CEO and co-founder.
Justin Catalano, a Partner at TorQuest said, “We are excited to be partnering on this investment with Ian and the GlassRatner team. GlassRatner is an attractive business with significant growth potential and a strong reputation for service excellence. We look forward to supporting their continued growth in this next chapter.” GlassRatner will be the third platform investment for TorQuest Partners Fund VI, a C$2.3 billion fund.
GlassRatner expanded into Canada in 2023 with the acquisition of the commercial group of Farber Financial, which has been operating as B. Riley Farber Advisory Inc. (“B. Riley Faber”). Going forward, the Canadian operations will adopt the unified GlassRatner brand. Together with its office in Mexico City and extensive coverage across the United States, GlassRatner offers seamless advisory services across North America and globally through its partnership with BTG Global Advisory.
From an industry perspective, GlassRatner also brings deep expertise through both its dedicated Real Estate Services and Engineering & Construction Consulting practices, ensuring specialized knowledge where it really matters. The firm has also established a portfolio of credentials in sectors including HealthCare, Financial Services & Insurance, Automotive (both Manufacturing and Auto Dealerships), General Manufacturing, Energy, Retail, Food & Beverage, Hospitality, Government, and Non-Profits.
“Our firm continues to be a terrific platform for our team members. Our culture is rooted in collaboration, collegiality, and authenticity,” said Ratner. “We are attracting some of the best and brightest in the industry and are committed to expanding our team aggressively to meet growing client demand.”
