You will be involved in a broad range of restructuring advisory assignments, which may include:
- Company-side restructuring and turnaround assignments, supporting management teams and shareholders to stabilise and reposition businesses
- Creditor-side advisory, acting for lenders and other stakeholders to assess financial viability, restructuring options and recovery prospects
- Independent Business Reviews, options reviews and contingency planning
- Cash flow forecasting, liquidity analysis and short-term funding requirements
- Restructuring plans, refinancing and negotiations with lenders and other stakeholders
- Business performance improvement and turnaround planning
- Financial analysis and assessment of restructuring options
- Supporting distressed M&A and other value preservation or realisation strategies
