Offshore Restructuring

In today’s challenging environment, it is critical that a company recognizes both the opportunities and obstacles it faces and takes the needed steps to reorganize and restructure its operations to maximize potential. Often this involves an in-depth assessment of objectives and operations and a review of policies and transactions to pinpoint issues or underlying problems within. Our Offshore restructuring professionals have extensive experience in these areas, ensuring that your entity is appropriately positioned.

The overall goal is the best possible return for stakeholders. Insolvency legislation provides a number of possible solutions and can be a powerful tool to the appointed individual(s) to investigate wrong doing, which may assist in the recovery of funds. Our global, multi-disciplinary team, having experience working with local laws and regulations, draws upon Duff & Phelps’ broad financial services industry expertise to provide effective, timely advice and solutions.

Assisted by our global colleagues, our Restructuring team can provide complete support during distressed situations, including working amidst complex cross-border issues, to preserve value for investors.
