Design and Execution of Turnaround and Restructuring Strategies
Distressed situations assume many forms, and achieving a recovery can require a diverse skill set, as well as an ability to react rapidly and decisively. JLA has experience working across a broad range of challenging situations – from addressing severe liquidity issues, coping with operational problems that can negatively impact business continuity, and addressing management deficiencies, to identifying and correcting embedded structural issues that hinder performance and/or threaten enterprise viability. The JLA team can work with stakeholders – whether management, lenders, investors, or outside directors – to identify issues, design recovery strategies, build consensus, and then lead the effort to achieve a turnaround or value-enhancing restructuring.
Interim and Crisis Management
JLA provides support to both public and private companies that require a highly qualified, dedicated, and impartial interim management resource. Loss of key personnel or the sudden onset of a crisis can place severe strain on an organization. An in-control situation can rapidly deteriorate in the absence of dependable and capable management resource, and a situation of moderate distress can rapidly escalate to crisis, in some cases threatening the ability of a business to continue as a going concern. JLA personnel are experienced in addressing complex and demanding situations, and have the breadth of operating experience, financial acumen, integrity and tenacity to deliver positive results quickly. Whether brought on by the unexpected departure of key management, or an unexpected negative turn of events that puts significant strain on an organization’s senior personnel, JLA has the resource to bring stability to challenging situations.
Conduct of Financial and Operational Reviews
JLA’s turnaround and restructuring specialists can provide oversight and review services that increase transparency, enhance stability and improve overall control. Senior JLA personnel are seasoned business operators with experience across a broad range of industries and a variety of Asian locations. When owners, investors or other stakeholders require operational and financial insight, JLA can serve as an objective, informed and reliable resource.
Advising Stakeholders
When complex and/or difficult situations arise, it is critical that the stakeholders in a business understand their options. Maintaining clarity, focus and objectivity can be very challenging in a distressed situation. JLA advises all classes of stakeholders – investors, lenders, senior management – when circumstances demand an objective, informed third party perspective. JLA specialists can analyze challenging situations, identify options, and advise on courses of action.
Strategic Business Planning
JLA can work with management and other stakeholders to create informed, pragmatic and transformational strategic business plans. Drawing on a range of functional and industry expertise, and underpinned by practical Asian operating and advisory experience, JLA specialists will develop an understanding of the fundamental drivers of your business, identify any factors that may be limiting performance, and then work to develop and carefully refine strategies for ensuring continued success, driving business renewal, or, if necessary, achieving an orderly exit from an undesirable situation.
