A Full Spectrum for Lenders
Lenders retain our Valuations & Opinions Group for their expertise in determining the total value of their portfolio — giving them an unobstructed and objective view into their overall financial and risk management profile.
In addition, our vast relationships and high volume of engagements with leading private equity firms yield additional opportunity for lenders who value the strategic connections we make between them and prospective loan assets. We bring a level of data, visibility and perspective to lenders that creates new value for them.
Collaboration for Results
In instances where clients may have retained us for special situation advisory services, we leverage our lender relationships to collaborate on potential strategic alternatives in case such services should be required.
