Recovery & restructuring
Clairfield has expertise in distressed M&A transactions with a track record of providing advice in many successful restructurings and insolvencies.
Transactions involving distressed companies differ from ordinary M&A processes in terms of speed, accelerated schedules, and information available, which is often abbreviated or incomplete. The recovery and restructuring processes require complex project management skills and a clear understanding of the industry involved.
Finding the right strategy and procedure in restructuring and insolvency situations is key for success, be it a share or a typical asset deal. We work with administrators, stakeholders, and other advisors.
Our services include:
- Refinancing existing debt
- Structuring financing of acquisitions and growth strategies
- Lender negotiations
- Recapitalizations and capital raisings
- Distressed M&A and special situations
- Creditor representations
