Special Situations – Solutions for Complex and Challenging Situations

Complex transactions often require bespoke solutions – especially when traditional financing sources aren't readily available.

We help with:

• Acquisition financing in distressed M&A processes (buy-side and sell-side)
• Financing companies in challenging or transitional situations
• Carve-out situations
• Bridge financing

Through our financing network across debt funds, asset-backed lenders, opportunity funds, and distressed debt investors, we provide access to financing solutions that can work even in complex scenarios.

 

Not every special situation is transaction-driven. Challenges often arise from a changing market environment or internal company developments. 

We support companies with:

• Refinancing in volatile or restrictive credit markets
• Liquidity shortfalls and short-term financing needs
• Adjusting existing financing structures to new conditions
• Covenant resets and negotiations with existing lenders

In this, we take on a central role in communication and moderation between:

• Management and shareholders
• Existing financing partners
• Potential new debt investors

Our goal is to ensure the ability to act and to create stabilizing solutions before situations deteriorate further.

In structurally challenging situations that require a radical adjustment of the capital structure, we guide our clients through comprehenve restructuring processes.

Our services include:

• Developing and implementing complete financial restructuring concepts
• Structuring turnaround financing
• Introducing new capital providers (e.g., special situation funds)
• Supporting complex negotiations with creditor groups
• Stabilizing the capital structure on a sustainable basis

In doing so, we work closely with:

• Restructuring advisors
• Legal advisors
• And other specialists

to ensure integrated and practical solutions.
