Tom Rawlinson

Mr Rawlinson, who joins the firm from FTI Consulting and who will be based out of the firm’s Edinburgh office, has over 12 years’ experience specialising in buy-side and sell-side financial due diligence, primarily for large and mid-cap private equity clients.

Over the course of his career, Mr Rawlinson has focused on private equity clients who invest across the full spectrum of industries and has also been involved in numerous buy-outs advising both private equity and corporates in sectors such as TMT, consumer goods, business services, healthcare and education.

Blair Nimmo, chief executive of Interpath Advisory, said: “We are delighted to welcome Tom to our business. His arrival, and that of Chris Hall as managing director in our London-based Debt Advisory team, mark the start of a new wave of continued investment as we seek to scale our advisory offerings further, both here in the UK and overseas.”

Interpath launched its transaction services business in September 2021. Since that time, under the leadership of managing director Russell Worrall, the team has advised on over 40 projects for both PE houses and corporate clients, including LDC, BGF, Longacre Group, Epiris, Davidson Kempner, H.I.G. Capital and Bunzl.

Mr Rawlinson added: “I’m really proud to have been asked to lead Interpath’s Transaction Services offering in Scotland.

“I am particularly excited about the opportunity for Interpath to really make its mark on this thriving dealmaking community, linking with colleagues across the business so that we can bring the very best of Interpath’s experience and expertise across TS, M&A, Debt Advisory and Tax to bear.”

Since Interpath Advisory launched in May 2021, the firm has grown from 43 managing directors and 507 staff to a team of 57 managing directors and circa 620 staff.
