1. Out-of-Court Restructurings Legal Strategy and Evaluation
A successful out-of-court restructuring starts with a deep understanding of the company’s capital structure, key stakeholders, and potential exit alternatives. Our attorneys evaluate each case holistically and tailor a strategy that considers debt maturity, creditor composition, liquidity constraints, and the feasibility of negotiated solutions with lenders or investors.
2. Out-of-Court Restructurings Tools and Techniques

These tools help delay or reduce debt burdens while aligning stakeholder incentives toward a consensual resolution.
3. Out-of-Court Restructurings vs. In-Court Proceedings

SJKP LLP’s deep experience in both methods enables us to guide clients in choosing the most beneficial approach for their circumstances.
