Analysis of Corporate Restructuring
A Publication on Corporate Restructuring

Making sense of how companies come apart — and get put back together.

New Value follows corporate restructurings and distressed situations as case studies: what pushed a company into trouble, how the restructuring was actually carried out, who recovered what, and what each story teaches about the law and economics of financial distress. Written for anyone who wants to understand these situations clearly, without the jargon getting in the way.

What you'll find here

Case studies

Single companies, followed closely. Each piece traces one restructuring from the first signs of distress through to how the value was ultimately divided.

02

Plain-language primers

The core concepts — priority, cramdown, liability management, valuation — explained in clear terms, so the case studies make sense whether or not you have a finance background.

03
