Turnaround and Corporate Recovery
Strategic turnaround and operational restructuring for sustained value recovery
Overview
We help companies facing operational or financial challenges to restructure, optimize performance, and emerge stronger. Our approach combines rigorous financial analysis with deep operational expertise to deliver sustainable turnarounds.
Our team has decades of experience managing complex restructuring situations across the MENA region, working constructively with all stakeholders to achieve optimal outcomes.
The Six Stages Between a Business in Distress and One That Survives It
Most restructuring processes fail not because the business was unsalvageable, but because the response came too late or the plan lacked credibility with the people whose support it needed most. This six-stage methodology is built around the opposite: early speed, rigorous planning, and the negotiating discipline to get a plan across the line and hold it there.
Stabilization
We move immediately. Protecting liquidity, preserving operational continuity, and establishing the creditor standstill environment are not tasks to sequence across weeks of internal discussion. They happen at once, because they have to. Speed in this phase is not a preference. It is a condition of everything that follows.
Diagnostic
We conduct a rigorous assessment of financial position, liquidity runway, covenant exposure, creditor mapping, operational viability, and stakeholder dynamics. The output is an honest picture of the business: where the stress is real, where the projections are inflated, and where the viable path forward actually begins. A restructuring plan built on incomplete diagnostics does not survive its first creditor meeting.
Restructuring Plan
We develop a plan that covers the financial, operational, and organizational dimensions of recovery with clear milestones and projections that hold under pressure. Creditors, advisors, and courts will all test what you put in front of them. We build the plan to withstand that scrutiny, because a document that reads well but collapses in negotiation is not a plan. It is a delay.
Negotiation
Restructuring negotiations are rarely between two parties. We manage the full creditor and stakeholder landscape: debt rescheduling, haircuts, debt-for-equity conversion, intercreditor dynamics, and formal court processes where required. Building consensus across that landscape takes more than legal process. It takes credibility, preparation, and the ability to hold a position under sustained pressure from multiple directions simultaneously.
Implementation
We manage plan execution with active monitoring, workstream coordination, and real-time course correction as conditions evolve. Restructuring plans rarely survive contact with reality unchanged. Our role is to ensure the outcome does, even when the path to it shifts beneath the process.
Value Recovery
With the restructuring stabilized, attention shifts from preservation to rebuilding. We optimize the capital structure, restore operational performance, and re-engage growth where the business is ready for it. Whether the next phase is independent growth, recapitalization, or a strategic transaction, we position the business to enter it from a place of strength, not relief.
