Navigating Complex Turnarounds with Strategic Precision

Our Restructuring Services
Operational Turnaround
We develop and implement comprehensive turnaround plans that restore profitability and stability.
Key initiatives may include:
- Workforce optimization and cost reduction
- Lease renegotiation and expense restructuring
- Streamlined working capital management (payables, receivables, inventory)
- Focused reinvestment in core operations
Our advisors collaborate directly with management to identify feasible solutions, execute cost-saving measures, and create sustainable performance improvements.
Liquidity & Capital Structure Solutions
When liquidity is constrained, we help clients:
- Maximize available liquidity through existing credit lines
- Engage creditors for amendments, waivers, and forbearance agreements
- Design amend-and-extend (“A&E”) or exchange-offer strategies
- Optimize capital structure through debt-for-equity swaps or negotiated haircuts
These approaches aim to “right-size” the balance sheet and preserve enterprise value while protecting creditor and shareholder interests.
Asset Disposition & Accelerated M&A (AMA)
For clients requiring rapid liquidity events, our team leads Accelerated M&A processes (AMA) — condensed six-week sale processes designed to unlock value in time-sensitive situations.
We manage:
- Sale of non-core or underperforming assets
- Partial divestitures or full company sales
- Coordination with strategic and financial buyers under compressed timelines
- Bidder evaluation balancing certainty of close with valuation outcomes
Our approach minimizes value leakage and delivers best-possible recoveries under tight deadlines.
Liquidation & Creditor Advisory
When restructuring alternatives are no longer viable, we assist in structured wind-downs and liquidation strategies designed to maximize recoveries and ensure regulatory compliance.
Our services include:
- Oversight of asset sales and repayment waterfalls
- Coordination with administrators, liquidators, and secured creditors
- Mitigation of value destruction and operational disruption
- Bidder evaluation balancing certainty of close with valuation outcomes
While liquidation represents the final option, our goal remains preserving stakeholder value wherever possible.

Every restructuring is unique. Jackson Payne Investment Bank brings together multidisciplinary expertise in corporate finance, operations, and capital markets to deliver:
- Independent financial diagnostics
- Scenario analysis and option evaluation
- Stakeholder negotiation and communication strategy
- Execution support across refinancing, asset sales, or restructuring transactions
Our team ensures transparency, precision, and decisive execution throughout every phase of the restructuring process.
