Turnaround & Recovery for Boards & Directors

Handle executes Turnaround & Recovery for Boards & Directors as an integrated law, capital, and strategy mandate; built to stabilise liquidity, reset governance, and enforce control across lenders, shareholders, and regulators.

From covenant breaches and distressed financing to contested boards and cross-border exposure, we structure a single recovery thesis, align stakeholders around enforceable options, and execute a disciplined timeline from stabilisation to exit. No noise. Just a controlled turnaround with legal, capital, and operational levers aligned.

When performance turns into pressure, boards require more than advisory language. They require an institution that takes control of the legal, capital, and governance variables driving the crisis.

Handle structures turnaround mandates to protect decision-makers, stabilise the capital stack, and move the business from reaction to controlled execution. The outcome is clear: defined options, enforced decisions, and predictable timelines.

• Boardroom-level engagement aligned with fiduciary duties and regulatory expectations
• Integrated view across financing, contracts, litigation, and operational constraints
• Jurisdictional clarity across UAE courts, DIFC, ADGM, and key offshore centers
• Capital-side fluency with banks, credit funds, private equity, and family capital
• Structured stakeholder communication to minimise noise and preserve negotiating leverage
• Documented decision trails that withstand regulatory, auditor, and future investor scrutiny

Handle structures and executes Turnaround & Recovery for Boards & Directors as a complete mandate, aligning legal, capital, and operational decisions into one enforceable plan.
