About FTI Consulting, Inc.
About FTI Consulting, Inc.
Corporate Finance—the largest of FTI Consulting's five segments—accounted for 41% of consolidated 2025 revenues, followed by Forensic and Litigation Consulting at 20%, Economic Consulting at 19%, Technology at 10%, and Strategic Communications at 10%. U.S.-based professionals generated 63% of total revenues in 2025, with the remaining 37% from international locations across 26 countries. The firm employed 6,421 billable professionals at December 31, 2025, organized across 104 offices worldwide.
FTI Consulting charges fees primarily on hourly or time-and-materials terms, with fixed-fee and success-fee arrangements available for complex mandates. The Corporate Finance segment earns advisory fees tied to restructuring, transactions, and enterprise transformation—demand that tends to rise in periods of credit stress or elevated M&A activity. The Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment serves boards, law firms, and regulated industries including healthcare and financial services in disputes and investigations. Economic Consulting, which includes subsidiary Compass Lexecon LLC, provides antitrust and competition analysis, financial economics, and international arbitration support. The Technology segment earns fees on e-discovery, information governance, AI-related legal services, and blockchain and digital asset matters; the 10-K notes this segment faces significant competition from consulting and software providers specializing in e-discovery, as well as downward pricing pressure. Strategic Communications handles financial and crisis communications including restructuring and public affairs. The 10-K states that results depend on the types, complexity, size, and timing of engagements, with no single client representing a disclosed material revenue share.
Show full overview
FTI Consulting's revenue mix carries built-in cyclical offsets: the 10-K states that the restructuring practice tends to experience highest demand during periods when market and industry conditions are less favorable for many businesses, while M&A-related services in Technology and fee-contingent mandates in Economic Consulting may weaken in those same periods. The Corporate Finance segment at 41% of revenues is the company's single largest revenue pool; if M&A activity contracts without a corresponding surge in restructuring, the offset is asymmetric. The company acknowledges this risk explicitly—stating that the positive effects of certain events or factors on certain segments and practices may not be sufficient to overcome the negative effects of those same events or factors on other parts of the business.
