Morgan Keegan’s nationally recognized Special Situations practice is dedicated to advising business leaders in times of financial distress. Most frequently, Morgan Keegan’s restructuring specialists are called upon by institutional owners, CEOs, and entrepreneurs to devise and execute creative strategies that resolve complex, and sometimes seemingly intractable, financial challenges.
Our overriding goal is to maximize the value of a financially distressed company while protecting our client’s interests in the business. Our assistance begins with a detailed evaluation of a client’s strategic alternatives and culminates with the negotiation and execution of transactions designed to comprehensively address the issues underlying a company’s distress. We attempt to conduct these transactions out-of-court whenever possible, but also work with companies operating under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
We choose our mandates carefully in order to ensure that each receives the attention that it merits. Our senior professionals are intimately involved with every one of the group’s assignments and the creativity, vast experience, and track record they bring to bear generates credibility with creditors and other stakeholders as well as an increased likelihood of a successful result.
