Sensitive Turnaround & Recovery Situations

Handle commands sensitive turnaround and recovery situations where law, capital, and governance collide. We enter when liquidity is constrained, stakeholders are fragmented, and timelines are compressed, then impose structure, sequence, and execution discipline.

From privately-held groups and family enterprises to sponsor-backed portfolios and quasi-sovereign assets, we design and execute recovery plans that are bankable, enforceable, and board-ready. One mandate, one timeline, one accountable partner across legal exposure, capital structure, and operational reset.

When a business enters a sensitive turnaround or recovery, the margin for error disappears. Decisions across law, capital, and operations must be sequenced, documented, and enforceable across jurisdictions and stakeholder classes.

Handle operates inside the institution with board access, lender dialogue, and regulatory fluency. We design and execute recovery pathways that convert pressure into an ordered process: stabilized liquidity, controlled negotiations, and protected value.

• Proven execution in complex UAE and GCC creditor environments
• Integrated legal, capital, and governance strategy in a single mandate
• Direct engagement with banks, private credit, and sponsor capital
• Ability to operate alongside or in front of CROs, advisors, and interim management
• Deep familiarity with UAE insolvency, security enforcement, and restructuring frameworks
• Outcome focus: continuity where viable, controlled exits where not

We enter sensitive turnaround and recovery situations with a structured mandate that defines scope, authority, and timelines from day one. Our role is to impose order, protect value, and secure enforceable outcomes across counterparties and jurisdictions.

Execution spans rapid diagnostics, negotiation, documentation, and post-implementation monitoring, ensuring the plan survives contact with regulators, lenders, and markets.

• Rapid situational assessment: liquidity map, legal exposures, and capital structure diagnostics
• Short-term stabilization: cash controls, payment waterfalls, and standstill frameworks
• Debt and covenant restructuring: bilateral, club, and syndicated negotiations
• Stakeholder management: banks, bondholders, landlords, JV partners, and family shareholders
• Formal and informal restructuring pathways under UAE and relevant foreign regimes
• Asset realignment: disposals, ring‑fencing, and security re‑stacking aligned with recovery objectives
