Your opportunity: Restructuring

Companies in financial distress engage KordaMentha to urgently restructure and stabilise their businesses, protecting not only monetary value at risk but also their reputation and social licence, and those of their key stakeholders. Our Restructuring group has managed many of the most complex corporate and government restructures in the Asia-Pacific region. Our notable projects include appointments over Network Ten, Arrium, FTX, Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics, and Ansett Australia, and advising Bain Capital on its acquisition of Virgin Airlines. We also support governments to make the challenging strategic decisions that shape our future and help them to solve the most complex and difficult of problems.

Working alongside our Restructuring specialists, this is your opportunity to learn how we look beyond the numbers, taking bold and creative steps to protect and recover value, providing stability and direction in times of crisis.
