Restructuring example:

Crewe was hired to advise minority shareholders of an ecommerce company that was experiencing significant operating issues. Crewe fully evaluated the situation and recommended actions that would allow the client to protect their investment, which included maneuvering between the natural clashes between senior lenders, mezzanine lenders, other junior subordinated debt holders, and shareholders that occurs in distressed situations.  Crewe successfully navigated the difficult environment and the clients acquired the company at a highly discounted valuation, despite starting from a junior position.
