WORKOUTS & RESTRUCTURING

When a company fails to comply with loan covenants or the expectations of investors or the board of directors, relationships become strained. Brandlin & Associates’ Financial Advisory and Workouts Services enable all parties involved to understand the facts and circumstances. As a result, they can make informed decisions and achieve quick and definitive resolution.

B&A breaks down the barriers between parties to resolve conflict and move forward. We:

  • Open channels of communication
