Director Ediscovery Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Hilco Global is a diversified financial services, advisory, and capital solutions company with a long-standing reputation for helping clients maximize value, solve complex problems, and navigate critical business moments. Across its platform, Hilco provides a broad range of services and solutions spanning valuation, restructuring, advisory, monetization, transactions, and capital solutions for corporations, lenders, investors, private equity sponsors, boards, and legal counsel.

What differentiates Hilco is the strength and breadth of its platform. The firm is trusted in high-stakes, complex, and often time-sensitive situations where financial, operational, strategic, and legal issues intersect. Hilco brings together deep experience, commercial judgment, and execution capability across the business lifecycle - from healthy companies seeking growth or strategic alternatives to stressed and distressed situations requiring decisive action.

Built on that foundation, Hilco Global is expanding its Global Investigations & Dispute Resolution practice. This growing practice advises clients on matters involving fraud and misconduct investigations, forensic accounting and financial analysis, post-acquisition and other commercial disputes, bribery and corruption matters, asset tracing, investigative due diligence, litigation support, regulatory response, digital forensics and cyber-enabled investigations, e-discovery, and other sensitive situations requiring rigorous analysis, sound judgment, and clear communication.

This is not a standalone niche practice being built in isolation. It is being developed within a powerful platform that already has deep client relationships, strong market credibility, and meaningful adjacency to restructuring, valuation, capital solutions, and other advisory capabilities. For the right professionals, that creates a rare opportunity: the chance to build within an established platform that already matters in the market.
