H&Z further strengthens its position as a leading European consulting firm through its strategic partnership with Haselhorst Associates. Headquartered in Starnberg near Munich, Haselhorst Associates specializes in crisis management and corporate restructuring. The firm is well-regarded for its result-driven restructuring strategies, particularly in challenging CRO mandates, which it has performed for some of the largest corporations in the DACH region. It now forms a formidable alliance with the H&Z Group, a top consultancy with expertise in management consulting, transformation and sustainability.

The integration of Haselhorst Associates enhances H&Z’s standing as one of Germany’s top 10 consultancies. Six partners and 35 experienced consultants from Haselhorst Associates will join H&Z, with all current partners becoming partners of the H&Z Group but continuing in their current roles as top consultants of Haselhorst Associates. Both companies will retain their respective brands, focusing on combining their strengths.
