Crisis = 危 + 機
Danger Opportunity
About Our Founder
Since our inception, CA&A has been totally focused on building a responsive, reliable and resourceful crisis & investment management practice.
From CA&A’s beginnings in 1985, (39 years ago) we made a conscious decision to remain a boutique practice. We understand that our clients want hands-on support from experts they can trust. We have proven over the years that CA&A’s team of professionals can do the work it typically takes a larger group to do. CA&A has the same expertise and experience of the large firms, but by maintaining our boutique status we don’t have to expend unnecessary resources to promote ourselves or to impress our clients with how big we are. We also don't have to charge our clients the higher fees. From Crisis & Professional Management, Private Equity and Investment Banking services, we are here to serve you.
