Restructuring experts

Our team can provide concise company restructuring advice to corporates, directors, insolvency practitioners, unsecured creditors, brands and general creditors across the whole range of restructuring issues, including:

Covenant breach/default: Often the early warning sign of issues to come, we can advise on issues relating to resetting covenants and changes to the underlying business and market conditions.
Government-backed schemes: Our team has experience in helping coordinate the application and execution of government-backed schemes, including reviewing pre-existing bank documentation that may contain a prohibition on additional loans or security.
Operational issues: Are you able to run your business virtually? Can you hold board meetings if travel restrictions are imposed? We can help determine the best option available.
Other sources of finance: There may be other forms of finance available, including short term (e.g. overdrafts) or more structural arrangements like invoice discounting. We can advise on the options and execution of additional funding.
Debt restructuring: The team is on hand to handle all types of restructuring transactions, including distressed financing and emergency facilities, debt restructurings, moratoriums, work-outs, standstills and rescheduling of debts. We often act on corporate restructurings and avoid formal insolvency procedures (e.g. schemes of arrangements) as well as restructurings through formal insolvency.
Capital restructuring: We also regularly advise on debt to equity swaps and other forms of capital restructuring (e.g. rescue rights issues) and restructuring by means of corporate finance transactions (e.g. MBOs and new equity investment).
