Turnaround & Restructuring Solutions

Helping distressed businesses reduce risk and maximise value

Companies encounter many challenges throughout their lifecycle and during times of volatility and distress in a business, it’s critical for organisations to act swiftly, but also wisely.

We draw on Deloitte’s global network of 1,500 turnaround & restructuring professionals, as well as sector and technical specialists, to help us deliver expert advice. This makes us the world’s largest corporate turnaround & restructuring practice within a full services firm.

It also means we can handle a very wide range of complex issues, including turnarounds, capital restructures, rapid mergers and acquisitions, and all forms of formal insolvency appointment, including receiverships, liquidations, and voluntary administrations.

Our independent assessments and insightful analysis provides stakeholders with greater confidence in the viability of a business plan, and assists companies to identify areas where performance can be enhanced.

With access to a global network of sector experts our analysis will form the basis for practical options and advice on critical matters.
