Turnaround & Restructuring Consulting
How we can help
When challenging market conditions lead to operational and financial inefficiencies, our experienced advisory team engineers and executes formal and informal solutions to maximise value for companies experiencing distress. This may include providing an in-depth turnaround plan to drive value during a restructure, or advising clients in more distressed situations on how to move forward with a sale or other business exit strategies.
How We Help
Our senior leaders and qualified liquidators accept formal appointments across Australia and will swiftly mobilise a team on the ground to respond to the urgent needs of a client. Combining an unprecedented depth of knowledge and experience across regions, geographies and technical capabilities, we provide tailored advice based on the situation and challenges facing a business.
