Restructuring & Distressed M&A Advisory

Restructuring & Distressed M&A Advisory at Valor Advisory Partners is designed for moments when time is short, options feel limited, and one wrong move can destroy years of value. We bring large-firm restructuring experience into a senior-led boutique format for lower- and core-middle-market companies facing liquidity pressure, covenant breaches, or outright distress.

We begin with a rapid but thorough assessment of the situation: cash runway, debt documents, collateral, stakeholder dynamics, and operational performance. From there, we map realistic paths forward-out-of-court amendments or exchanges, new-money financings, structured asset sales, or, when necessary, Chapter 11. Owners, boards, and creditor groups get a clear picture of what each path means for control, recovery, and timing.

In out-of-court situations, we lead negotiations with lenders, bondholders, landlords, and critical vendors to re-cut terms that buy breathing room while preserving going-concern value. Where a court process is unavoidable, we support pre-packaged or pre-arranged filings, guide you through debtor-in-possession financing, and run Section 363 sale processes that are credible with the court and attractive to bidders. Distressed M&A buyers and sellers benefit from our ability to structure transactions that address successor liability, executory contracts, and regulatory approvals under compressed timelines.

We do not act for creditor constituencies on other mandates that would conflict with your interests, and we do not trade in your securities. That independence matters when you need an advisor focused solely on maximizing recoveries and preserving options, not protecting a balance sheet elsewhere. Whether the objective is to save the enterprise, manage an orderly wind-down, or carve out viable assets, you get senior judgment, frank advice, and execution grounded in decades of restructuring and distressed deal work.
