Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

A US investment bank has bought MCR, the UK corporate restructuring specialist, to expand its strategic presence in Europe.

Duff & Phelps, which is listed in New York, did not say how much it paid for MCR, but the company delivered revenues of £21m for the year to 30 June.

MCR has been involved in high-profile retail administrations in recent years, including Borders UK, MFI and Ethel Austin. But its restructuring work has spanned sectors from property to manufacturing.

MCR employs 150 staff, including 19 partners. Noah Gottdiener, the chief executive at Duff & Phelps, said MRC would bring "impressive scale" to its European expansion.
