The brakes on restructuring are coming off
Nothing is certain. Industries can see downturns, and any business can be susceptible to financial distress. The difference between successfully coming out on the other side or not depends on spotting the issues early and changing course quickly and effectively to preserve value and reduce risk.
Business restructuring and recovery services aren’t just for organizations that have faced insolvency. There are ways to proactively take—and retain—control of your business and increase your odds for recovery in the long term beyond simply reducing costs or improving liquidity.
Our turnaround financial advisory team is made up of a community of solvers—one that brings the strengths of our people, capabilities and technology together. We work seamlessly with stakeholders and other principals to plan and execute all stages of the proposed restructuring or reorganization process.
Our team is human-led and tech-powered, with countless years of practical experience assessing strategic turnaround and restructuring alternatives, helping businesses evaluate their level of distress, designing an appropriate plan, and executing the right strategy.

Restructuring 2025 outlook
Elevated interest rates helped push Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings to their highest level in eight years in 2024 and we expect the high volume of restructurings to continue through the first half of 2025. We’re also seeing signs of softening consumer spending, especially in sectors such as retail and restaurants. Distressed companies in those industries could be pushed over into bankruptcy as a result.
However, the overall situation could improve in the second half of 2025. If interest rates continue to decline, they could lead to a more favorable M&A environment for CFOs and corporate developers that unlocks deals as a solution to some stressed companies. Less restrictive regulators could further unlock M&A as an option for companies looking for a white knight.
