A&M Expands to Midwest With Advisory Service

CHICAGO-The global professional services firm will grow its presence by bringing its real estate advisory practice to the Midwest.

By Cari Brokamp | Updated on August 27, 2009

CHICAGO-Alvarez & Marsal has recently expanded its real estate advisory services practice into the Midwest. The global professional services firm will grow its presence in this region with the addition of Harold “Skip” Perry as managing director in the team’s Chicago office. Perry brings 35 years of experience, extending the office’s expertise into the commercial real estate sector.

“Alvarez & Marsal have some other substantial business in Chicago, and I’m the first person they brought on board to help fill in the void for the real estate advisory practice,” Perry tells GlobeSt.com. “This is the most significant downturn economically from a commercial real estate perspective certainly since the early ’90s. Because of the extreme downturn in the economy and the hit to the commercial real estate markets, A&M realized that we needed a presence in Chicago and got me to join the team to help look at all the issues out there in the marketplace.”

Perry started his career as a senior principal with Pannell Kerr Forster, a national accounting and consulting firm specializing in the hospitality industry. He went on to hold various roles with Kenneth Leventhal & Co. and Ernst & Young, where he eventually served as national partner of the Transaction Real Estate Advisory Group. Most recently, Perry worked as executive managing director at Real Globe Advisors LLC, a firm he founded in 2007 and disbanded in recent months in light of his move to A&M.
