Turnaround & Restructuring

Even top-performing companies eventually face stressed or distressed operational challenges, either as a result of an economic downturn or a one-off, external disruptive event. Whether businesses have anticipated the business disruption or are unprepared for it, our senior professionals apply their experience and expertise to help develop innovative strategies and solutions and deliver exemplary executions. We are seasoned restructuring professionals who have been involved in leading some of the largest domestic and cross-border turnarounds in the past several decades. In such engagements, our team develops lasting partnerships and trusting relationships with sponsors, boards of directors and senior management teams. Clients rely on us for a broad array of services, including the preparation of restructuring reports, independent business reviews (“IBRs”), and future concept, options analysis and cash management services.

Creditors of stressed or distressed companies often need external support and advice. Regardless of the situations or parties involved, you need to be able to count on a trusted partner who has experience with these complex turnaround moments.

For decades, we have been helping creditors — including international financial institutions, institutional investors, national and regional credit institutions, bondholders, trustees, owners and many others — carry out their transactions in a way that minimises losses and maximises the value of their claims and rights.

Our goal is to preserve the value of your assets and maximise their recovery. We leverage our expertise and experience to provide critical analysis and imagine viable strategic alternatives that deliver optimal results for our clients.

Our solutions notably include:

• Creditor Business Review (“CBR”)
• Determination of enterprise value, as an independent expert
• Analysis of debt servicing capacity and design of appropriate capital structures
• Restructuring negotiations by reaching a consensus among creditors and negotiating with other stakeholders

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 professionals have joined the management teams of 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’re uniquely equipped to fill the full range of senior management and functional leadership roles.
