Special Situations & Restructuring

Special Situations & Restructuring

During economic downturns real estate owners and lenders may face difficult situations driven by various factors including adverse local and macroeconomic conditions, pending debt maturities, misaligned capital structures, volatile interest rates, and disagreements about strategic direction. Regardless of the specific cause, these challenges often lead to disputes over cash flow projections, asset values, distributions of capital, and how to achieve desired outcomes. When the stakes are high and objectives among stakeholders diverge, restructuring either in or out of court is inevitable
