We protect and preserve value for companies in distress, protect creditor interests and uncover investment opportunities involving troubled assets all with a vigilant focus on future growth.

Our approach

Corporate bankruptcy has evolved.

In the new economy, fewer businesses in distress are charting a course of traditional reorganization. Companies are taking advantage of cheaper access to capital and pursuing refinancings, restructurings, sales and acquisitions. We help them or their creditor constituencies explore options such as fast-paced Section 363 bankruptcy sales and other distressed investment strategies.

Our focus on industry nuances is a significant advantage. Financial restructuring solutions arent one-size fits all and are shaped by market and regulatory forces. We know the dynamics and players unique to a variety of industriesfrom real estate and financial services, to health care and manufacturing, to infrastructure and beyond. In all instances, our goal is to protect existing assets and unlock new value.

Our team is always focused on being high-level business counselors as well as legal advisors. We address operational inefficiencies, facilitate balance sheet restructuring, advance turnaround plans, draft agreements that guard against future risk and (when necessary) wind down and liquidate.
