Advisory vertical and AI builds

Corporate
Practice

Advisory to corporates and sovereigns across industries and geographies: funding strategy, capital structure, risk, and the execution that follows.

No two situations warrant the same answer; the expertise lies in tailoring it to each.

Our team has led mandates in funding, capital structure, risk and distress from inside Citi, Barclays, Standard Chartered and Bank of America, for corporates and sovereigns across different markets and sectors.

What was done separately inside those institutions is now done by one team, so advice and execution arrive together, supported where needed by AI and data analytics led builds from engineers who sit in the same team.

Practice areas

Our team has advised corporates across markets and industries in each of the areas below. Hover a card, or tap on a touch device, for what it covers.

01
Optimum capital, not just capital

Debt Advisory and Capital Structuring

Advice on the capital and liquidity profile a business should actually hold: then the work of raising it, from approach through due diligence to negotiated terms.

  • Optimum capital and liquidity profile
  • Mezzanine financing and bank loans
  • Approaching investors and lenders
  • Working capital and trade finance
What this covers
02
A driver of firm value, not a view on the market

Risk Management

Risks are interdependent and rarely sit in isolation. Mapping and sizing comes first, then the policy that governs them, before any mitigation is structured.

  • Exposure mapping and quantification
  • Risk appetite, policy and governance
  • Hedging strategy and instrument structuring
  • Hedge accounting and effectiveness testing
  • Treasury operating model and systems

What this covers
03
Deals fail in execution, not selection

M&A Execution Services

Identifying a target is the easy part. Deals come apart in execution, which is where an experienced hand keeps the process moving and management free to run the business.

  • Acquisition and disposal strategy
  • Feasibility, modelling and valuation
  • Information memoranda and adviser coordination
  • Negotiation, pre-NBO evaluation and closing
What this covers
04
An outside view, when it is needed most

Special Situations

In distress, an objective outside perspective is what produces a viable path. Stakeholders come to us precisely because we have no position to defend.

  • Independent assessment of the situation
  • Options analysis and restructuring strategy
  • Lender and stakeholder negotiation
  • Execution through to resolution
What this covers
05
Value in the business model

Value Creation

Most value is trapped in how a business actually runs. We work through the model and the operations until that is clear, and the solution follows from the finding.

  • Business and operating model review
  • Strengths, constraints and pain points
  • Value opportunities, sized and ranked
  • Operating structure and governance design
  • Phased roadmap through to delivery
What this covers
