Financial Restructuring
When companies think that they may need a financial restructuring advisor, they probably already need one. Perhaps there is a looming maturity date without a forbearance plan, or a business line that is deteriorating more rapidly than expected, or a project which is stalled. Is a company’s debt trading at a discount? Did it miss a payment? There are many reasons to engage a debtor financial advisor. GH will analyze, structure, negotiate and execute the best outcome possible.
Creditor committees, whether ad hoc or official, need advisors as well, to protect their interests in or out of court.

Capital Structure
Does your company spend too much time dealing with a myriad of instruments and investor constituencies? A simplifying transaction will rationalize your capital structure. On the other side, if your company needs the flexibility of a private security which has certain complex features customized for an investor, there is a time for that as well. When business conditions change, so might your capital structure.
Valuation
Whether a client is a private company, a public company, a set of holdings, or a liquidation, GH uses its experience, judgement, and academic background to arrive at a reasonable value range for the asset(s) at hand. We help boards of directors, special committees, companies, and business owners worldwide. Examples of applications include:
- Affiliate, insider, and related-party transactions
- Competing offers
- Mergers with synergy adjustments
