Any company, no matter how well managed, may experience financial difficulties. Economic downturns, refinancing risk, changing business models, new competitors and unexpected events can all create significant challenges. We have extensive experience in helping our clients navigate these issues, whatever their cause.

We advise on all stages and aspects of financial distress, from contingency planning, distressed investments, capital and corporate restructurings (including by way of schemes of arrangement, company voluntary arrangements and group reorganisations) and acquisitions and disposals, to formal insolvencies, both contentious and non-contentious.

We represent the full array of stakeholders involved with financially distressed businesses, including debtors and issuers of both public and private securities, all types of creditors, equity holders, new investors, boards of directors, and senior management teams.

A significant part of our work focuses on developing creative and value-maximising strategies in complex, and often contentious, restructuring and insolvency matters—complemented by our expertise in areas such as M&A, private equity, finance, litigation and dispute resolution, regulation and real estate.

Regardless of the challenge at hand, we respond with strategic and comprehensive advice—allowing clients to surmount the varied legal, financial, operational, and corporate governance obstacles that may arise in troubled situations, and achieve their business or investment goals.
