The story

BRG was co-founded in February 2010 by a group including Dr. David Teece, who has served as its executive chairman.

In March 2025, BRG disclosed that it had discovered on 2 March "suspicious network activity including indicators of compromise consistent with a ransomware attack". Bloomberg News reported that the breach occurred as banks were finalising debt financing for TowerBrook Capital Partners' buyout of the firm, and that the attacker claimed to have stolen data and encrypted files on BRG's network.

In May 2025, The Wall Street Journal reported that the attack exposed data from multiple Catholic diocese bankruptcy cases in which BRG served as a financial adviser. Subsequent court filings and reporting said the breach drew scrutiny from the U.S. Trustee over whether BRG should continue in those roles.
