Manufacturing & Industrial
Manufacturing and industrial companies across many sectors constantly face challenges in pursuit of their growth targets and business goals. Global pressure on profit margins, ever-evolving tax regimes and shifting business and legal landscapes are only a few of the factors at play.
Metals & Mining
Low commodity prices, depressed demand and oversupply, currency volatility and ongoing uncertainty around the pace of global economic recovery, are forcing a sustained period of distress that is rippling through the mining and metals industry. Mining companies with good assets, steady production, decent revenues and sound management are in trouble, exposed to a sharp price drop or sudden liquidity shock. This is forcing quality asset divestments and balance sheet manoeuvrings to unlock value for shareholders and reduce unsustainable debt levels. Companies are also actively seeking ways to circumvent ‘debt’ restrictions in bond and bank documents as financial covenants are blown.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure projects, acquisitions, financings and privatizations demand an in depth sector understanding and knowledge combined with the skills to analyze and allocate complex and often cross-border risks. In addition, a comprehensive experience with the public sector regimes through concessions or regulated licensing regime is crucial. These qualities and knowledge set us apart and enable us to deliver results globally in both developed and emerging economies.
