Anticipating disruption and staying ahead of change
Veeva and IQVIA Establish Historic Life Sciences Partnership
Veeva Systems Inc. (“Veeva”) and IQVIA, Inc. (“IQVIA”) both provide data, software and solutions to help life sciences companies market and sell life-saving medicines. In 2018, IQVIA sued Veeva for trade secret misappropriation. Veeva countersued for antitrust monopolization claims. The dispute carried significant implications not only for the parties involved, but also for the broader life sciences industry, as pharmaceutical companies increasingly depend on integrated data and software solutions. The outcome of the dispute had the potential to reshape how customers could access and use critical healthcare data across competing platforms. FTI Consulting competition expert Dr. Randal Heeb was retained by Veeva to provide expert testimony on the antitrust claims, specifically regarding market definition and harm to competition.
Managing Celsa’s Historic Restructuring
After 2009, the company’s cash generation profile changed dramatically, pushing Celsa into multiple restructuring agreements — first in 2013, and again in 2018. After 2018, most debt had been traded to special situations funds and other private credit investors. In September 2022, a change in restructuring law in Spain allowed Celsa’s creditors to present a restructuring plan unilaterally — the first of its kind in Spain — converting debt into equity and fully diluting the local family office. Celsa’s creditors engaged FTI Consulting to lead the company’s transition during the in-court restructuring plan’s implementation.
Supporting Azul Through a Successful Financial Restructuring
Established in 2008 by JetBlue founder David Neeleman, Azul was Brazil’s largest airline by departures and cities served, operating approximately 800 flights daily to more than 130 destinations. The airline built its business by focusing on smaller, underserved cities throughout the country. In late 2024, Azul faced severe financial distress driven by pandemic-related debt, currency volatility, rising fuel costs and other operational challenges. Prior to the Chapter 11 process, Azul evaluated and executed multiple out-of-court liability management initiatives as part of its efforts to strengthen liquidity and optimize its capital structure. FTI Consulting was initially engaged to assess the airline’s business plan and help it secure bridge financing before subsequently being appointed Chief Restructuring Officer (“CRO”) and deploying a global, cross-segment team to lead a highly complex Chapter 11 process.
Elevating Creditor Recoveries in Aeroméxico’s Restructuring
After the COVID-19 pandemic triggered unprecedented declines in passenger demand, Aeroméxico filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to stabilize its liquidity, restructure its fleet, optimize its cost structure and strengthen its financial position. The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors for Aeroméxico engaged FTI Consulting as an investment banking, aviation and financial advisor to advise on Debtor-In-Possession (“DIP”) and exit financing, fleet and network restructuring, creditor recoveries and the company's plan of reorganization.
Successfully Integrating Acquisitions at Solaris Health
Solaris Health was founded in June 2020 when Lee Equity used the medical service organization to purchase nonclinical assets of two urology physician groups in New York and Ohio, as well as additional acquisitions in six other states. Due to the high volume of M&A activity, FTI Consulting was engaged to help quickly integrate new acquisitions into Solaris Health’s reporting structure.
Clearing a Path Forward for a French Luxury Startup
A French luxury startup faced a series of challenges with a major renovation project ahead of its launch date. Meeting the launch date was important to not miss another busy season and revenue opportunities. The owner of the startup, a U.S. private equity company, asked FTI Consulting to investigate the cost overruns and delays — only to discover a shocking conflict of interest that risked the viability of the project.
Redesigning How a Health System Operates, Contracts and Delivers Care
Rising healthcare costs are creating an inflection point for regional health systems: payers are tightening contracts, employers are demanding alternatives, and patients are making cost-driven decisions about where and how they access care. A regional health system recognized that incremental improvement wouldn't be enough — and partnered with FTI Consulting to fundamentally redesign how they operate, contract and deliver care.FTI Consulting was engaged across simultaneous workstreams — transitioning the organization's Accountable Care Organization (“ACO”) to a higher-risk, higher-reward value-based contract, overhauling ambulatory operations system-wide, executing a rapid financial turnaround of the urgent care organization, and optimizing surgical and procedural service lines — each demanding a different kind of expertise, all requiring the same disciplined execution.
Pfizer Completes $43 Billion Acquisition of Seagen
Seagen is a global biotechnology company that discovers, develops and commercializes transformative cancer medicines. In March 2023, Pfizer and Seagen announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Pfizer would acquire Seagen. Counsel for Pfizer and Seagen drew upon Compass Lexecon's economic analysis and logistical support to comply with the FTC’s second request for information.

Maintaining Public Confidence in the National Health Service (“NHS”) During COVID-19
As infection rates rose through the first COVID-19 wave in 2020 and the more pronounced winter crisis at the start of 2021, NHS England needed additional strategic communications support to handle unprecedented volumes of media requests and enable access to hospital sites during the peak of the pandemic. NHS England turned to FTI Consulting to help convey the importance of adhering to public health guidelines and uphold public confidence in the institution.
Bringing Free Computer Science Education to the World
Code.org — an education innovation nonprofit dedicated to providing all students with the opportunity to learn computer science as a driver of equality and development for underprivileged minorities and underserved areas for free as part of their core K-12 education — had become well-recognised in schools across North America, but its brand did not have the resources or organisational support globally to have the same impact in other parts of the world.Seeing an opportunity to scale its influence globally, Code.org began a pro bono partnership with FTI Consulting’s Dubai-based professionals to help bring its curriculum to countries across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.FTI Consulting and Code.org identified 11 countries that would benefit from Code.org’s curriculum, including Spain, Italy, Morocco, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Kenya, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan.Experts developed and proposed five-year plans for countrywide integration of Code.org’s resources and worked alongside each country to measure agreed-upon key performance indicators.The team raised awareness by leveraging influential figures, public campaigns and key events, and worked to create public and private partnerships to help fund scholarships for training teachers on Code.org’s resources.
Helping Financial Institutions Combat Child Exploitation through Compliance Programs
With online sexual exploitation of children rising, early detection and prevention of suspicious activities is essential. Monitoring and tracking suspicious financial behaviour might provide insight into sources of child exploitation, so banks and financial institutions (“FIs”) have an opportunity to form compliance programs, which address this directly. In late 2020, FTI Consulting’s investigations and financial crime compliance experts began a collaboration with global law firm Freshfields and the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (“ICMEC”) to develop the Child Protection Toolkit - a resource designed to help banks and FIs structure their compliance programs to detect and prevent the misuse of the financial system for online child sexual exploitation.
Supporting the International Campaign for a Special Tribunal for Ukraine
With the UN and the International Criminal Court unable to provide accountability for the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, a campaign for an alternative mechanism was needed. Our experts helped drive change by providing strategic counsel to a new independent human rights non-government organisation, Justice and Accountability for Ukraine (“JAFUA”), which was established to advocate for a special international tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine and its people.
Amplifying the Importance of Parental Leave Equity with Parents At Work
In collaboration with UNICEF Australia, Parents At Work, an organisation providing employee benefits through work and family education and policy advisory services, launched a report called Bridging the Work and Family Divide: Understanding the Benefits of Family Friendly Workplaces. The report explores the outcomes for organisations, employees and their families when family-friendly workplace policies and practices are both promoted and implemented. Parents At Work partnered with FTI Consulting’s strategic communications experts to help amplify the launch of the report and Parents At Work’s newly launched Family Friendly Workplaces Program (“FFW”), a recognition framework that benchmarks and certifies employers as a “Family Inclusive Workplace.”
