Equity holder representation
Equity stakeholders face unique challenges in distress situations. Often, they wear multiple hats as directors, officers, debt holders, and/or equity holders. These positions in the business and its capital structure require a clear understanding of differing legal obligations and counseling regarding the options and potential outcomes in a restructuring. Accordingly, corporate and restructuring counsel must be prepared to address different legal perspectives in formulating effective and pragmatic strategies. Because we take a team approach to engagements, combining a full-service platform with a highly regarded restructuring practice, McDonald Hopkins often gets the call from sophisticated equity stakeholders. Our clients include private equity sponsors, venture funds, hedge funds, owners of closely-held businesses, and stakeholders of public companies. Our engagements range from defending parties in litigation to participating in new-money recapitalizations. In any matter, we never lose sight of our clients’ business goals.
