We provide specialist services and advice to stakeholders in situations where a business is experiencing financial, commercial or operational difficulties. 

HLB Mann Judd’s Restructuring and Risk Advisory team (RRA) assists stakeholders in implementing sustained restructuring management strategies and mitigating financial, commercial and operational risks.

  • Breach or anticipated breach of banking covenants
  • Payments to creditors being made outside of normal trading terms or underpayment arrangements

  • Failure to identify risks in a changing business environment
