Special Situations

Complex deals, quietly matched.

Distressed assets, CMBS, restructurings and opportunities that fall outside conventional lender or investor mandates. We find the right counterparty for situations that require speed, discretion and deep market knowledge not a public process.

OVERVIEW

Every year a small number of transactions do not fit any standard mandate the tenor is wrong, the collateral is wrong, the timing is wrong, or the situation is simply too sensitive for a broad process. That does not mean they cannot be done. It means they must be matched, not marketed. We work bilaterally with principals to structure and place the trade with the specific counterparty most suited to underwrite it.

How It Works

From term sheet to funding.

01

Assessment

Confidential brief. We evaluate whether the situation is genuinely fundable and where a counterparty realistically sits.

02

Structure

Deal reshaped where necessary: waterfall, collateral, tenor, covenants to be executable by a defined buyer profile.

03

Match

Direct approach to the identified counterparty. No broad market circulation, no leakage.

04

Close

Documented and closed via principal counsel on both sides. A1 exits at closing.

Use Cases

Who this works for.

Distressed Real Estate

Owner or lender needs an off-market solution for a stressed commercial asset. We match to a specialist buyer.

CMBS Positions

Placement of illiquid or off-mandate CMBS tranches into the right institutional book.

Corporate Restructurings

Bespoke capital solutions for companies whose profile no longer fits their existing lender syndicate.

Bilateral Blocks

Large blocks of listed or private paper that require a discreet counterparty rather than an order book.

FAQ

Common questions.

Are you a broker or a principal?

Advisory. We are not a principal and we do not warehouse risk. Our role is to structure and match: closing is between the underlying principals.

How is confidentiality enforced?

Every enquiry is treated bilaterally from the first call. No blind teasers, no market circulation, no third-party syndication.

What is a realistic timeline?

For a well-briefed situation, first counterparty engagement within days. Documented close typically inside 6 to 10 weeks.
