Distressed M&A services are a specialized area of merger and acquisition advisory services that are tailored to businesses experiencing financial distress, operational challenges, or liquidity shortages. These transactions differ significantly from traditional M&A due to their urgency, complexity, and the unique strategies required to preserve and maximize value under pressure.

Distressed deals often involve navigating intricate negotiations with creditors, resolving legal and regulatory issues, and addressing operational inefficiencies—all while maintaining business continuity. The objective is not just to salvage value but to optimize it within tight deadlines, making expertise and decisive action critical.
