1. Special Situations in Distressed and Event-Driven Transactions
Special Situations often involve assets or companies under stress due to liquidity issues, cyclical downturns, or unsustainable capital structures. We advise clients on transactions that combine credit protection with equity upside, helping them navigate restructurings, rescue financings, and hybrid investments.
Special Situations and Stressed/Distressed Investments
We help clients evaluate and execute investments in distressed companies, NPL portfolios, and undervalued assets with a focus on capital structure optionality and downside protection.
Special Situations and Event-Driven Deals
We advise on investments tied to specific corporate events such as spin-offs, recapitalizations, or operational turnarounds, often requiring bespoke legal structuring and rapid execution.
2. Special Situations in Cross-Practice Legal Strategy
Special Situations require a multidisciplinary approach combining bankruptcy, debt finance, private equity, capital markets, and restructuring expertise. At SJKP LLP, our Special Situations group integrates these disciplines to deliver cohesive, results-driven counsel.
Special Situations and Debt & Equity Hybrids
We structure convertible notes, preferred equity, PIK instruments, and warrants to balance return profiles and legal risk in distressed or transitional deals.
Special Situations and Restructuring Alignment
We work alongside restructuring advisors to align capital infusions with bankruptcy plans, intercreditor dynamics, and regulatory frameworks.
3. Special Situations for Sponsors and Institutional Investors
Special Situations are increasingly pursued by private equity sponsors, credit funds, and family offices seeking uncorrelated returns. We support clients with deal sourcing, due diligence, structuring, and exit planning.
Special Situations and Private Capital Deployment
We advise on deploying capital across various tranches of the capital stack—secured debt, mezzanine, preferred equity, and common equity—based on the client’s risk profile.
Special Situations and Exit Liquidity Planning
Our team structures downside protection and exit rights through put options, drag-along clauses, registration rights, and waterfall provisions.
