Restructuring Specialists for Strategically Stalled Technology Companies

The Brenner Group® is among Silicon Valley's most experienced restructuring specialists for investors, creditors, boards, and executive management of financially distressed technology companies. Because each company has its own unique dynamics and the point at which we engage will vary, the range of options and ultimate outcomes for distressed clients is broad. Typical technology company restructuring projects include one or more of the following:

• Bankruptcy
  • Chapter 7
  • Chapter 11
• Liquidation
  • Managed Liquidation
  • ABC (Assignment for Benefit of Creditors)
• Wind down
• Asset sales

The challenge for financially distressed technology companies and their constituencies is to fully understand the range of outcomes that can occur given their circumstances. With The Brenner Group providing restructuring guidance, clients can better appreciate their options, prioritize them, and drive toward the most attractive scenario while preparing for downside eventualities.

We lead the restructuring project

The Brenner Group is often retained effectively as the Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO), serving as the restructuring expert for the board, creditors, management, and shareholders. The Brenner Group initially assists in evaluating options and devising a plan, and then we champion the necessary restructure work through to completion. The Brenner Group can act as both an advisor and, when necessary, an official member of the management team (e.g., CEO or CFO). As part of the restructuring process the firm can also lead an M&A or Asset Sale transaction.

The Brenner Group provides the operating horsepower to ensure the company is properly managed through the entire restructure process. We work side-by-side with and complement company counsel and insolvency specialists.

The Brenner Group difference—restructuring experts

Because technology companies rarely include senior staff with restructuring expertise, it is prudent for distressed technology companies to retain The Brenner Group. We have the necessary experience and are uniquely qualified to advise on technology restructuring options, to co-develop an appropriate course of action, and to lead any scenario through to its full conclusion, which can often take in excess of one year.
