Farber Acquired by B. Riley Financial Inc. Now Known as B. Riley Farber

Expanded services. Greater reach. Same team.

In a competitive global landscape, access to resources and expertise are paramount to the continued success and growth of our business. This deal provides Farber access to both diverse service offerings and capabilities, greater market access, and a platform to grow our presence across Canada and throughout North America.

Farber and B. Riley enjoy a longstanding relationship as founding members of BTG Global Advisory—one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory alliances. This has led to the firms collaborating on numerous cross-border engagements throughout the years. We also enjoy an established trust, aligned cultures, and shared values which will allow us to seamlessly integrate and provide value to our stakeholders.

For our clients, this means even more opportunities to partner with us. In addition to strengthened expertise—in restructuring, investment banking, forensic accounting & litigation support, and wealth management—we will continue to build and grow our executive search, interim management, human capital, and talent development offerings with access to new markets and key industries.

Gary Lifman, Senior Managing Director at B. Riley Farber notes, “We are very excited about this merger. In a competitive landscape, this was the best way to grow our business across North America.” He continues, “This deal will catapult Farber to a whole new level—enabling us to offer our clients a new depth of intellectual capital, experience, and specialization. It’s a big change but, at the same time, we are focused on continuity—providing the same level of client satisfaction with the same Farber professionals you’ve known for years.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Farber into the greater B. Riley platform,” explains Ian Ratner Co-Chief Executive Officer of B. Riley Advisory Services. “Farber is a world-class organization, and our complementary service offerings will provide new and exciting cross-border opportunities. We have a rich history working together and this synergy will provide our clients with access to a growing Canadian market.”
