We work closely with our clients to understand their problems and objectives and provide them with a comprehensive assessment of the range of available alternatives. We employ an integrated advisory approach which draws on the deep industry knowledge of our sector coverage bankers and the capital markets expertise of our Financing Advisory practice. This permits us a broader perspective on our clients’ challenges, allowing us to develop custom-tailored solutions that address not only their immediate financial difficulties, but also their longer-term operating, financial and strategic objectives. This interdisciplinary approach, together with our dedication to hands-on, senior banker leadership throughout the duration of the engagement, distinguishes us from other advisors in our business.
