Restructurings are time critical situations each with unique challenges, complicated by the diversity of stakeholder groups, particularly in cross-border situations or those involving public companies and/or government institutions.

We have advised companies in distress, across a range of industries, through crisis, working capital stabilization, and financial/operational restructurings. We will lead manage the restructuring process whether it is a voluntary out of court restructuring or through a court appointed administration process such as an Indonesian PKPU, a Singaporean or Hong Kong scheme or other processes.
