Imperial Capital has one of the largest national restructuring and recapitalization practices in the industry. The firm is experienced in advising companies, creditors, industry consortiums, financial institutions, institutional investors and funds, government entities, trade creditors, equity participants and acquirers both out-of-court and through the complex Chapter 11 process. Imperial Capital’s senior banking professionals have over 100 years of cumulative restructuring advisory experience, including prior experience in bankruptcy and corporate law, accounting and finance. Our banking professionals have been involved in restructurings across virtually every industry including some of the largest restructurings in the United States. In each representation, Imperial Capital has provided a full range of services to our clients, utilizing all the disciplines and expertise within our firm. Our banking professionals pride themselves on finding creative solutions for every restructuring challenge, especially in contested or difficult situations. The combination of sound judgment and creativity based on real experience and market knowledge is a critical distinction which sets us apart from other market participants.

In addition to routine restructuring transactions, we have pioneered reorganizations of solvent companies undergoing distress, distressed debt trading and debt buybacks, including using the acquired debt as currency for an acquisition of a company, consent solicitations and exchange offers, pre-packaged/pre-arranged reorganizations, rights offerings and inter-creditor lien priority and subordination dispute resolutions. We have significant experience in valuation and expert services in connection with litigation and/or plan confirmations.

Imperial Capital’s financing capabilities complement our restructuring and recapitalization business given our ability to implement solutions through arranging DIP financings, exit financings or devising a rescue financing alternative for companies in financial distress. We regularly draw upon our capital markets capabilities in making critical assessments and providing advice in arranging financing in restructuring situations. We also have significant experience providing merger and acquisition services for distressed companies, including conducting a sale of a business or its assets through the bankruptcy process, or on an out-of-court basis amidst creditor negotiations. In addition, Imperial Capital also supports the trading of securities issued by companies undergoing restructuring or reorganization (both pre and post-restructuring transactions), providing liquidity for otherwise illiquid securities.
