Financially distressed situations present unique challenges and opportunities for creditors and debtors alike, as well as other affected third parties. Each situation involves a unique set of assets, liabilities and cash flow, as well as personalities of the key players, who often have different agendas and varying degrees of leverage. Some financially distressed situations require negotiations, compromise and finesse. Other situations require hardball litigation, ‘nuclear’ and ‘kamikaze’ type threats and a ‘take no prisoners’ approach. There are no cookie cutter solutions to financially distressed situations and the landscape and dynamics of each situation often changes over time.
