David Buchler

With a career spanning 30 years, David Buchler is recognised as a leading practitioner in the field of corporate turnaround. A founding partner of Buchler Phillips and until 2003, Chairman of Kroll for Europe and Africa, his appointments have included cases on behalf of major banks, lawyers, accountants, the Courts and the Department of Trade and Industry. His investigation work has enabled him to lead inquiries into some of the largest and most complex expert witness and fraud cases, both in the UK and world-wide. More recently he has led a number of due diligence and corporate turnaround assignments, especially within Europe.

David is specifically recognised for his success in reorganising and restructuring companies, particularly in the football industry and was responsible for representing Kroll’s interest in the turnaround market in the UK and other parts of Europe.

He has established DB Consultants in order to concentrate on turnaround assignments where a significant hands-on involvement at board or senior management level is required by people with the necessary experience and skills to manage a sustainable recovery.
