Common questions
Questions we hear early
It is partner-led financial advisory for Chapter 11 and Chapter 7 matters, running from the filing decision through the case. The work centers on testing 11 vs. 7 vs. alternatives on real cash, building the DIP budget and 13-week cash model, delivering court-ready reporting, and driving a recovery strategy that maximizes creditor value. The focus is on protecting enterprise and creditor value, not documenting decline.
Owners and management facing a filing decision, creditors' committees that need an independent read on the numbers, and the attorneys who represent both. Because the engagement is built to hold up in front of lenders, trustees, and the court, it serves any party that needs credible, defensible financials during a distressed situation.
Before the petition, while options are still open. The critical turn is when a filing looks likely and the clock is running — that is when an 11 vs. 7 analysis grounded in real cash and asset position can still change the outcome. Waiting until after the filing narrows the paths that remain available.
A DIP budget and 13-week cash model that survive court scrutiny, monthly operating reports and schedules the bench expects, and a recovery strategy structured to return more to creditors and owners. The outcome is credibility preserved with lenders and the court, cash controlled week by week, and a clean court record with reporting filed on time and no surprises. If a related distressed matter calls for it, we can also frame turnaround or receivership as the stronger tool.
Every engagement is led by a senior partner who has sat across the table from lenders, trustees, and the court since 1983, and the low-overhead, senior-only model means the partner you meet does the work. That partner will also tell you honestly when a filing is not the strongest tool — the read is grounded in real cash and asset position, not a push toward the courthouse.
