Expertise Yields Sustainable Results

Our team applies comprehensive financial, managerial, accounting, and operational expertise gained from leading companies during times of stress and duress to quickly identify ways to improve a business’s or asset’s current cash flow, ensure operating efficiencies, and design and implement an achievable strategic plan to maximize recoveries. 

By collaborating with management throughout the process, our turnaround and restructuring experts deliver practical solutions with consideration to market conditions, regulatory issues, timeliness, stakeholders’ concerns, and other potential limitations. 

We build confidence and trust among client stakeholders through transparency, credible financial and operational plans, and open communication. Our track record of success includes achieving, and often surpassing, the initial goals and expectations of client engagements. 

Our turnaround and restructuring professionals collaborate with over 1,500 in-house industry and subject matter experts as needed.

Debt Restructuring Services

When a company has defaulted on its loan covenants and its capital structure is unsustainable, our team engenders the confidence of lenders as we look to structure and negotiate short-term relief to achieve stability, and eventually a longer-term solution. We tailor solutions to optimize and enhance the balance sheet given each client’s unique situation, industry, objectives, and business characteristics. 

We assist clients in the following areas:

  • Covenant violation waivers and restructured covenants
  • Forbearance agreements
  • Temporary, relaxed principal, and interest payments
  • Renegotiated, termed-out debt structures
  • Settlement of debt obligations at a discount
  • Conversion of some or all debt obligations to equity
  • Subordination of existing senior debt to “new money”
  • Debt and balance sheet restructuring through the sale of non-core assets
  • Refinancing the debt with a new lender post-operational restructuring
Interim Management

Turnover, disruption, or a need for specialized expertise can be resolved by engaging interim leadership during a turnaround.

Our experts regularly serve in Interim CEO, COO, CFO, Chief Restructuring Officer, and interim operations and financial department roles, leveraging deep experience leading companies through all phases of disruption. We provide critical assistance to organizations in severe crises as well as companies addressing challenges due to growth, market conditions, liquidity issues, and other unplanned disruptions.

Our team of former C-suite executives; senior leaders; and financial, operational, and restructuring experts work collaboratively with clients’ executive teams to stabilize and improve operations and profitability, identify and implement strategic improvements, implement turnaround initiatives, alleviate the impact of executive attrition, and address ongoing liquidity.
