Restructuring Group

Capital Structure Strategies for Special Situations

Chardan’s Restructuring and Special Situations Group delivers robust, timely solutions and integrated capital markets support to companies facing distress, insolvency, complex financial issues, time-critical M&A situations, and extraordinary risks and opportunities. With a focus on businesses with revenues above $100 million, our experienced specialists apply the full range of the firm’s capital markets and transactional capabilities to address the needs of companies, their stakeholders, and prospective investors.

Forward thinking and holistic solutions

Chardan’s restructuring clients are typically referred to us by existing corporate clients and investors who appreciate our unique blend of skills. Drawing on their deep experience as investment principals and business managers, our leadership team guides the development of capital structure strategies grounded in business fundamentals and the practicalities of implementation. They maintain close, active involvement throughout all phases of assignments and execution.

Rather than simply executing transactions, Chardan focuses on creating and preserving value for our clients. We integrate process timing and risk analysis into our recommended solutions and organize our support to cope with or capitalize on urgent and pressured circumstances.

Chardan’s thorough analysis, practiced negotiating skills, and sensitivity to the needs of corporate stakeholders enable us to build a consensus in the most challenging situations. Whatever the matter, we have the expertise to address client needs privately, in formal workout arrangements, and in public market processes.

Cross-border and cross-cultural capabilities

As capital flows become increasingly global, few businesses today have the luxury of operating in a single country or legal jurisdiction. Chardan is able to quickly address the nuances of foreign rules and regulations and facilitate support initiatives on opposite sides of the world. In restructuring or distress situations, when resources are already stretched thin, this often means the difference between success and failure.

The members of Chardan’s leadership team have each lived, worked, and invested internationally. Senior personnel in our offices around the world collaborate seamlessly to complete highly sensitive and volatile negotiations on behalf of our clients. Our collaborative approach and international capabilities are unique among advisory firms serving the middle market.
