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.
Turnarounds & Advisory
When the outcome depends on a counterparty.
Recapitalisation, 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.
Recapitalisation
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
The outcome depends on who is asking.
What a buyer, a lender or a shareholder will concede depends on pressures they rarely state, and it moves as the situation does.
Our team has run multi-billion M&A and finance transactions, and held principal seats in global private equity. Most of what we take on is a technology business, where the number turns on the engineering and we can read it.
