Business Restructuring Expertise Area Presentation

Recovering value by managing today’s financial and operational challenges while preparing for the future

In a situation of underperformance or crisis within your company, important decisions must be taken quickly, both financially and operationally.

Companies, managers, shareholders or creditors: our teams assist you in the prevention and management of these critical periods. Our approach is based on three pillars:

  • a high level of technical expertise;
  • methodologies to support decisions and negotiations;
  • the proven experience of our teams in complex situations with our European clients.

At each stage of our working relationship, we adapt our services to meet your immediate needs and prioritise issues, whilst preserving the company’s ability to bounce back, in order to better respond to the challenges you are facing, such as strategic restructuring, business reorganisation, or turnaround strategy.
