A disposal the board cannot run itself
Assets to be sold under time pressure, where the process, the buyer list and the sequencing decide the price.
Special situations
When the outcome turns on judgment.
Distressed debt, disposals, shareholder relations, executive compensation: the work that does not survive being handed to an LLM or a junior.
Where we are called in
Five situations that reach us.
Funding structures no one in-house has seen before
Complex and cross-border arrangements, where the useful question is what a lender or a credit committee will actually accept and what the business can carry.
The share register is the problem
Deadlock, misaligned expectations and governance tension, worked through to a durable agreement.
Distress
Financial constraints, operating reality and where the creditors and shareholders actually stand, connected to a restructuring path that can be executed.
Compensation that has become contentious
Incentives, affordability, governance and long-term value, without reducing the question to a benchmark table.
Why this stays human
Some outcomes are decided in a room.
These matters turn on what people will accept, what they will concede, and whether they trust the person carrying the message. That is decided in a room, by someone who has been in one.
Our team has run multi-billion M&A and finance transactions, and held principal seats in global private equity.
