financial advisory

Our team has extensive experience in financial advisory, including structuring, capital structure optimization, ratings advisory, commercial positioning, contract re-structuring special situations and proprietary market analytics.

As independent advisors, we work with our clients to develop flexible capital solutions across the debt and equity markets, without the inherent bias of a balance-sheet lender or institutional sales platform. In many instances, our wide spectrum of skills and execution expertise enables us, working in close cooperation with our clients, to reduce ongoing capital costs and unlock value for our clients.
