On the advisory side, he assists individuals and businesses in managing financial distress, planning and executing restructurings, negotiating with secured and unsecured creditors (including forbearance and settlement arrangements), assessing and executing distressed asset purchases, and navigating borrower-side issues in commercial lending and special-situations transactions.
