What does our Restructuring Advisory team do?
Our core Restructuring Advisory team work with organisations and their advisers, lenders, trustees and creditors to prevent, manage and address issues related to financial difficulty. This may include advice on how to develop an effective turnaround strategy. Where this is not possible, it may include realising value and optimising the outcome of a formal insolvency. More specifically, this can comprise:
- Monitor emerging financial risks;
- Secure an appropriate funding solution;
- Manage risk by simplifying corporate structure;
- Review defined benefit pension covenant strength;
- Preserve value on distressed real estate projects;
- Navigate an accelerated transaction where appropriate;
- In the event of an insolvency procedure, assisting all stakeholders in understanding and navigating the process;
- Identifying and realising assets for the benefit of an insolvent estate;
- Investigating the conduct of the company prior to insolvency;
- Assisting employees with claims and information relating to and arising from insolvency;
- Liaising with creditors, including secured, preferential and unsecured; and
- Identify and pursue potential claims after contentious insolvency.
We have a specialist Restructuring Delivery Team dedicated to increasing efficiency in delivering formal insolvency work. This offers the opportunity to spend several months on each stage of formal insolvencies, therefore increasing confidence and experience in each element within a short time frame. This provides great exposure to all areas of this work in a structured manner.
Our Special Investigations Restructuring Advisory team focus on contentious insolvency and fraud investigations with a demonstrated history of recovering assets from both the UK and overseas.
Our multi-disciplinary team deal with enforcement actions and local and international asset tracing, working with legal advisers and forensic experts to identify and recover assets and to bring claims against those accountable for fraud, misfeasance, or breach of duty. We deal with cross-border issues, complex litigation and numerous contentious issues, as well as Liquidations and high-profile bankruptcies.
