Distressed Asset Investors
Following an unprecedented global recession,
investors have witnessed violent fluctuations in asset
values. In many cases, prices remain significantly depressed
from their peak levels. Of course, with challenge comes opportunity
for those buyers in a position to exploit market
conditions. SNR Denton lawyers have helped a diverse range of
clients seize upon dislocations in the marketplace. Our clients
include hedge funds, private equity funds and strategic investors,
as well as banks and financial institutions. Our experience spans
asset class, sector and geography, and includes all manner of
acquisitions of distressed debt and equity.
Investing in distressed assets presents a
distinct set of challenges and requires specialized
counsel. Clients benefit from the integrated experience of our
transactional, finance, restructuring, real estate, tax and
regulatory specialists. Our sophisticated understanding of the
restructuring and insolvency process informs our representation of
