FGS Global collapsed after revelations emerged regarding its ties to Jeffrey Epstein. This followed the earlier collapse of Global Counsel, which plunged into crisis after Epstein's significant role in shaping the agency was revealed, triggering a mass exodus of clients. Administrators handling Global Counsel received inbound expressions of interest concerning the company’s client book and intellectual property rights, though no viable transaction was ultimately possible.
