Debt Advisory

We navigate companies safely and independently through financial crises

Due to the strained company and liquidity situation, loan agreement covenants and provisions may be breached, jeopardising the maintenance of debt financing either partially or in its entirety. The company is on the verge of insolvency.

In this case, comprehensive knowledge of the loan agreement provisions and the resulting consequences for the respective lenders is of crucial importance - both for the short and medium-term survival of the company in crisis.

Only an immediate reaction to the threatened access to the existing debt capital and professional communication with the lenders enables the initiation of a structured restructuring process for the company.
