Distressed Transaction Advisory

Distressed Transaction Advisory

Distressed transactions are high stakes, time-sensitive, and surrounded by uncertainty. We help you through it—whether you’re on the buy- or sell-side of the deal.

Our experts know the ins-and-outs of distressed transactions, both in-court (§363) and out-of-court. Whether you’re looking to acquire or sell a distressed asset, or divest non-core business units or standalone entities, we’re by your side from contemplation to conclusion to maximize transaction value on all sides.
