About

Provided by MinterEllison

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to an underperforming or distressed business. The goal is to deliver the best possible results for all stakeholders.


We focus on strategies that help distressed businesses and creditors to recover, restructure and avoid to the extent possible or minimise the fallout of formal insolvency.


From early turnaround and workout strategies to cross-border restructurings and complex corporate insolvencies, our specialist advisers work cooperatively with financial institutions and creditors, liquidators, administrators, receivers and other professional advisors to provide a seamless and integrated service.
