Turnaround & Restructuring
How we can help
Volatile market conditions and business disruptions are hurdles to business continuity and organisational transformation. As a result, more and more organisations consider restructuring as a viable option. The frequency, pace, size and complexity of bankruptcy and insolvency filings continues to increase both globally and in the Middle East. When faced with these situations or with business transformation opportunities, companies, boards of directors, investors, lenders and creditors around the world engage FTI Consulting’s market-leading corporate finance and restructuring professionals for turnaround and restructuring services. We are one of the leading restructuring advisory firms in the world and our clients trust us to help them achieve the best possible outcomes.
In the Middle East, our senior restructuring consultants help drive successful turnarounds, including guidance on stabilising finances and operations to reassure all parties that proactive steps are being taken to enhance value. For clients in crisis, we develop liquidity forecasts, improve cash flow management, analyse and develop business plans, evaluate strategic alternatives, obtain additional financing, provide negotiation assistance and guide complex debt restructurings. We also provide analytical and advisory services to creditors of distressed borrowers to help maximize their recoveries.
Clients regularly engage us for restructuring, corporate recovery, litigation support, interim management, capital markets advisory, due diligence, merger integration and carve-outs, valuation, tax advisory as well as financial management and business transformation solutions.
