OVERVIEW

We help clients assess and resolve complex, significant, and time-sensitive developments.

ASSESSMENT

We advise on legal, commercial, and general considerations when evaluating critical and unique challenges. 

Our experience includes situations involving financial distress, governance disputes, covenant pressures, privacy concerns, reputational risk, alleged or suspected violations of law or regulation, and contractual disagreements.

We have also advised on conflicting or vague agreements (whether written or verbal), transactions that have not closed on time, and investments that have not performed as expected.

ACTION

We develop pragmatic action plans aimed at resolving special situations.

We maintain a network of trusted advisors and specialists—both legal and non-legal—versed in the evaluation of complex fact patterns. Depending on each client’s specific needs, we engage these professionals to supplement our counsel and ensure each client receives comprehensive and tailored advice.

We serve as a single point of contact and synthesis between clients and other advisors. We provide seamless leadership during sensitive times.

RESOLUTION

We aim to resolve each special situation on terms that achieve client goals and mitigate future risk.

Our experience includes resolving special situations via settlement agreements, memorandums of understanding, amended and restated agreements (including partnership and investment agreements), amendments (including to merger and purchase agreements and, in particular, earnout provisions), indemnity and breach-of-contract claims, and due diligence.
