Province Acquires StoneTurn to Create a Fully Integrated Financial Advisory Platform
Combination creates a stronger, senior-led advisory platform built for increasingly complex corporate challenges
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Province, a leading financial advisory firm, today announced the strategic acquisition of StoneTurn, a global professional services firm specializing in disputes, investigations, and risk advisory services.
The move creates a multidisciplinary advisory platform positioned to support clients facing increasingly interconnected financial, legal, and regulatory risks. By integrating StoneTurn's investigative, compliance, and dispute capabilities with Province's established leadership in restructuring, interim management, capital markets, and litigation support, the combined firm offers a more seamless approach to complex, high-stakes corporate challenges. This acquisition builds upon the thesis of Trivest's partnership with Province, which began in 2024. The result is a diversified advisory platform built for an era where complexity is the norm.
The combination is designed to simplify how corporations and their legal counsel manage complex matters. By housing these specialties within a single platform, the firm:
- Ensures continuity of strategy from initial investigation through financial or operational recovery.
- Preserves institutional knowledge, reducing the friction often caused by hand-offs between multiple external advisors.
- Accelerates decision-making by seamlessly aligning financial and legal strategies in real time.
"Our clients are increasingly facing situations where investigations, disputes, and financial distress converge," said Paul Huygens, Chief Executive Officer of Province. "By bringing together Province's restructuring and financial advisory capabilities with StoneTurn's complementary best-in-class investigative and forensic expertise, we are building a platform designed to address multi-faceted business challenges on a global basis."
Founded in 2004, StoneTurn has advised more than 95% of the AmLaw 100 and more than half of the Fortune 100, as well as federal, state, and international government agencies. The firm's experience on high-profile investigations, litigation, and disputes worldwide, along with work on more than 30 monitorships, strengthens the combined firm's ability to deliver credible, independent insight where rigor and judgment are critical. StoneTurn was previously backed by MML Capital Partners, an international mid-market private equity investor, which helped fuel the firm's expansion of talent, global presence, and practice area growth.
"What stood out immediately in our discussions with Province was the strong cultural alignment," said Brad Wilson, Managing Partner of StoneTurn. "Both firms share a commitment to senior-led execution built upon decades of experience, and delivering trusted advice in the most challenging situations. Together, Province and StoneTurn can support our clients with broader capabilities without sacrificing the agility and personal attention that define how we work."
With 300+ professionals operating across 19 offices on five continents, and on-the-ground experience in over 100 countries, the combined firm maintains a practitioner-led, client-first operating model largely free of institutional conflicts. With expanded capabilities and global reach, the firm is positioned to deliver greater speed, coordination, and insight on matters where financial, legal, and operational risks intersect. Jefferies LLC acted as the exclusive buy-side advisor to Province and Clearsight Advisors, Inc. acted as the exclusive sell-side advisor to StoneTurn.
