Restructuring and Debt Advisory

 

Hawkpoint has a wealth of experience in advising companies (both listed and private) and their stakeholders in a wide variety of stressed debt and restructuring situations. Our senior partners have advised on and created innovative solutions for complex European restructuring transactions including Schefenacker AG and EM.TV AG in Germany, ISTC in Ireland and Amey PLC and Jarvis plc in the UK. We advised the Government of Iceland on both the capitalisation of three domestic banks, formed from the collapse of Landsbanki, Kaupthing and Glitnir, and the negotiation of compensation due to the estates of the collapsed banks for the extraction of the net assets involved. In addition to specialist personnel, senior members of the firm have substantial experience of providing strategic advice to companies in difficult situations. One of the key challenges in such transactions is gaining a quick and clear understanding of the interests and perspectives of each of the parties involved. Hawkpoint's experience of acting for different types of stakeholders within the capital structure provides it with the insight to swiftly assess the likely perspective of each party to a given situation.

Every situation requires a tailored approach. Our ability to produce a bespoke solution for our clients in each case is supported by our capacity to draw on a number of disciplines across the firm. Input from our debt advisory practice both provides the very latest intelligence from the banking market and delivers the execution of debt related solutions as required. Our first-class understanding of the private equity market assists us in securing financial buyers for companies and their subsidiaries. Our senior partners collectively have extensive experience of advising listed companies in relation to public company issues whilst our general M&A advisory capability is practised in the careful execution of disposals as part of a restructuring engagement.
