Turnaround & Restructuring

Even top-performing companies eventually face stressed or distressed operational and/or financial challenges as a result of an economic downturn, an over-leveraged balance sheet or a one-off, external disruptive event. Whether businesses have anticipated or have prepared for the business disruption, our senior turnaround and restructuring experts apply their experience and expertise to develop innovative strategies and solutions, and support exemplary execution of the strategic plan.

Our Canadian FTI Consulting team is composed of seasoned restructuring professionals who have led some of the largest and most complex Canadian and cross-border restructurings in recent decades. In such engagements, our team develops lasting partnerships and trusting relationships with sponsors, boards of directors and senior management teams that provide credibility across Canada and globally.

Clients rely on us for a broad array of services, including the preparation of restructuring reports, liquidity management and enhancement initiatives, cash flow forecasting, independent business reviews (“IBRs”) and strategic options analysis supported by data-driven approaches.

Creditors of distressed companies often need external support and advice to resolve their issues. Regardless of the circumstances or the parties involved, you need a trusted, experienced partner that understands the situation and stakeholder dynamics. Our goal is to preserve value and maximize recoveries for creditors. We leverage our extensive expertise and decades of industry experience to provide critical analysis and strategic alternatives that deliver optimal outcomes for our clients, whether they are secured or unsecured creditors.

Maintaining momentum is critical when senior leadership transitions occur, whether as an outcome of new business challenges, opportunities or executive turnover. The performance of the business and the interests of boards, customers, employees and other stakeholders must all be managed effectively. For decades, our Canadian professionals have joined the management teams of both regional and global companies on an interim basis to help them achieve fundamental change. Since we’ve sat on both sides of the table — as C-level executives ourselves and in supporting our clients as advisors — we are uniquely equipped to fill the full range of senior management and functional leadership roles.
