Hiram Capital provides financial advisory services to troubled companies and their creditors and shareholders. We also represent potential buyers of troubled companies and their assets.

Our philosophy of restructurings is to accomplish, when possible, a "permanent solution" to the distressed entities financial problems. Our experience in prior restructurings convinces us that short-term solutions which fail to address a troubled company's underlying problems only lead to repeated restructurings which destroy enterprise value over the long term. We recognize that certain situations may warrant an aggressive and adversarial short-term approach to maximizing value for investors or providing a troubled company with the time it needs to resolve some or all of its problems. However, in most cases we add the most value by working diligently to gain the confidence of all of the troubled company's various constituencies and putting the resulting credibility among those parties to use in facilitating cooperative negotiations toward a comprehensive solution that that restores the company's financial health.

Hiram Capita provides clients advice in connection with bankruptcy reorganization, workouts, or turnaround planning. Our goal in distressed situations is to assist our clients with maximizing asset and enterprise value, making operational performance adjustments, and, by recapitalizing the company, allow for financial turnaround.

Our corporate restructuring services include:

Bankruptcy Reorganization
Hiram Capital advises companies seeking to reorganize under court protection. Hiram Capital will create an interim operating plan to be used during the pending stage of the bankruptcy, be responsible for all Office of The United States Trustee reporting, and document and support the proposed plan of reorganization, in addition to representing clients in creditor negotiations. Alternatively, Hiram Capital represents and advises creditors and creditor committees in maximizing their claims. For both debtor and creditor, Hiram Capital implements creative solutions by combining our bankruptcy reorganization experience with our financial expertise.
