Energy restructuring

Overview

Over the past two decades, the U.S. energy industry has been transformed in a number of ways. What has not changed, however, is its boom or bust nature, as recent price declines have made clear. The cyclicality of the industry, coupled with increased government regulation, make financial distress almost inevitable for many businesses. And an energy business experiencing any type of financial distress requires advisors knowledgeable about the energy industry and the nuances of financial restructuring.
