Our Services

  • A modular, high-impact diagnostic to support critical restructuring decisions

    Our Independent Situational Assessment is a flexible, insight-driven product designed to provide stakeholders with a clear, independent view of a business’s financial health and strategic viability at the outset of a restructuring or turnaround process. Whether distress is expected or already underway, the assessment offers objective analysis to guide urgent decision-making, build consensus, and accelerate stakeholder alignment.

    The assessment can be delivered as a modular package, with each component offered independently or combined as a comprehensive review, depending on the situation. Each module is typically completed within a matter of weeks, providing timely insights without delaying action.

    Modular Deliverables

    Module 1: Short-Term Cash Flow Assessment
    Liquidity visibility and operational breathing room

    This module focuses on building, reviewing, or validating a short-term (typically 13-week) cash flow forecast. It is designed to provide immediate clarity on the company’s liquidity position, helping identify potential shortfalls, timing mismatches, and funding gaps. We assess the integrity of the forecasting methodology, evaluate assumptions, and stress-test the cash position under various scenarios.

    This analysis is critical for understanding whether the business can continue operating as-is, whether urgent interventions are needed (e.g., payment deferrals, cash conservation), and how much time is available for longer-term restructuring efforts.

    Typical use cases: liquidity crises, covenant breaches, funding requests, pre-emptive planning.

    Module 2: Business Plan Review and Challenge
    Strategic reality check and medium-term viability

    This module delivers a critical evaluation of the company's business plan, with a focus on sustainability and credibility. We analyze the revenue model, cost base, capital structure, and operational assumptions in the context of market conditions and internal capabilities. The goal is to determine whether the plan reflects a realistic path to recovery or growth, or whether it requires recalibration.

    This review is particularly valuable when engaging stakeholders around long-term decisions—such as refinancing, equity injections, operational restructuring, or formal turnaround planning.

    Typical use cases: investor negotiations, restructuring discussions, strategic repositioning.

    A Shared Foundation for Action

    Whether delivered independently or together, the outputs of each module are packaged into a clear, concise assessment document developed in close coordination with management. Once validated, this deliverable serves as a trusted reference point for all parties—lenders, investors, boards, and advisors—helping to drive negotiations forward with shared facts and a practical path ahead. It enables stakeholders to engage constructively and act decisively, even in uncertain or high-pressure environments.

  • Structured, forward-looking analysis to support high-stakes decisions—for companies and stakeholders alike

    Our Scenario Planning & Strategic Options Assessment is an insight-driven exercise designed to help both company leadership and financial stakeholders—such as lenders, investors, and boards—navigate periods of uncertainty, evaluate strategic alternatives, and make credible, well-informed decisions. Whether used in the context of financial stress, operational disruption, or long-term strategic repositioning, this service delivers clarity, optionality, and alignment at the most critical moments.

    Modular Deliverables

    Module 1: Scenario Planning and Sensitivity Analysis
    Understanding uncertainty and preparing for multiple outcomes

    This module focuses on building a structured view of how the business might perform under different future conditions—ranging from base-case to stress-case scenarios. We identify key drivers (e.g., revenue shocks, cost variability, regulatory changes, market disruptions) and model their impact on financial and operational performance. These scenarios are tailored to reflect both internal dynamics and external risks, providing a forward-looking lens for planning and stakeholder engagement.

    For management teams, this provides a playbook to guide proactive actions and contingency planning. For lenders or investors, it offers a clear view of the downside risk profile, recovery potential, and critical pressure points under varying conditions.

    Typical use cases: pre-restructuring analysis, credit risk review, turnaround planning, board strategy sessions.

    Module 2: Strategic Options Assessment
    Evaluating credible, tailored paths forward

    This module delivers a clear, structured review of the strategic options available to the business—assessed against operational feasibility, financial impact, execution risk, stakeholder alignment, and timing. These may include refinancing, cost restructuring, divestitures, asset sales, new capital solutions, mergers, or controlled wind-downs. We objectively weigh each option’s implications under the different scenarios developed, helping stakeholders identify the most viable and supportable courses of action.

    For companies, this supports internal alignment and external messaging. For lenders and other creditors, it provides transparency and a fact-based foundation for engaging in meaningful, collaborative discussions with management.

    Typical use cases: liquidity inflection points, restructuring alternatives, refinancing strategy, investor engagement.

    A Common Framework to Align Decisions and Drive Engagement

    Each module results in a decision-ready strategic analysis document, developed in close collaboration with management and built to stand up to scrutiny from all key stakeholders. When delivered together, the combined output becomes a unified decision framework—mapping credible paths forward, stress-tested under uncertainty, with practical next steps clearly laid out.

    This product supports both internal decision-making and external negotiation. It helps management demonstrate preparedness and foresight, while giving lenders and financial partners the clarity and confidence they need to assess options and engage constructively.

  • End-to-end leadership in complex negotiations—representing creditors, syndicates, or company stakeholders with clarity, authority, and focus

    In situations of financial distress, operational disruption, or structural change, successful outcomes hinge on more than just good analysis—they require effective stakeholder engagement, clear communication, and decisive negotiation. Our Stakeholder Representation & Negotiation service is built to lead that process from start to finish, acting on behalf of creditors, lender syndicates, or company-side stakeholders to ensure their interests are protected, their voice is credible, and their objectives are achieved.

    We represent our clients through the full lifecycle of a negotiation—beginning with initial engagement, through information sharing and issue framing, to term development, stakeholder alignment, and final agreement. We take on the role of lead negotiator or chief advisor, guiding all aspects of the process and coordinating with legal, financial, and operational counterparts to ensure consistency and momentum.

    Our experience spans both sides of the table:

    • On the creditor side, we advocate on behalf of banks, funds, or lender syndicates—helping to form unified positions, assess restructuring proposals, and drive commercial outcomes that reflect risk, recoverability, and reputational concerns.

    • On the company side, we support management teams and boards in preparing for and managing difficult negotiations with creditors, investors, landlords, or regulators—ensuring communication is strategic, proposals are credible, and engagement is constructive.

    Throughout, we focus on maintaining momentum, managing expectations, and bridging the gap between competing interests. We bring structure to complex discussions, clarity to ambiguous situations, and resolve to high-pressure environments. Our approach is grounded, impartial, and always geared toward a sustainable, workable outcome.

    Whether the goal is a consensual restructuring, new financing arrangement, covenant reset, or stakeholder realignment, our role is to lead from the front—delivering confidence, credibility, and results.

  • Embedded leadership to stabilize, transform, and deliver results—when it matters most

    In the wake of a transaction, during a restructuring, or amid operational disruption, organizations often face a critical leadership gap—precisely when strong direction is most needed. Our Interim Executive Appointments service provides seasoned, hands-on leadership in the form of Chief Restructuring Officers (CROs), interim CEOs, or interim CFOs, embedded directly into the business to drive clarity, control, and momentum.

    These roles are not advisory in nature—they are operational, strategic, and accountable. We step in to lead from the front, stabilizing performance, managing stakeholders, and executing on short-term priorities while laying the groundwork for long-term transformation. Whether brought in by management, boards, investors, or lenders, our interim executives act with the authority, discipline, and urgency required in high-stakes situations.

    Typical mandates include:

    • Restructuring leadership, including liquidity management, stakeholder negotiations, and turnaround planning

    • Post-transaction execution, such as implementing a new operating model, driving integration, or delivering cost programs

    • Executive gap cover, where an urgent departure or leadership void needs to be filled quickly and credibly

    • Crisis response and transformation, including performance recovery, governance reset, or investor engagement

    Our interim leaders work alongside existing teams while bringing the independence and experience of a trusted external operator. They’re backed by the full strength of our strategic, financial, and operational capabilities—and selected specifically for their sector knowledge, situational experience, and ability to deliver under pressure.

    Whether stabilizing a distressed business, leading a post-deal transformation, or preparing an organization for its next chapter, our Interim Executive Appointments provide the leadership needed to move forward with focus and control.
