Our team is comprised of over 50 dedicated restructuring professionals located in New York, Dubai, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles and Sydney. Since the beginning of 2009, we have consistently been ranked among the top three restructuring advisors in the US, and are currently ranked the No. 4 Restructuring Advisor globally1.
Moelis & Company offers a unique restructuring product. In nearly every assignment, we partner senior restructuring professionals with our leading industry experts to provide the most comprehensive and relevant advice to our clients. Our philosophy is to marry the tailored and focused advice of a boutique with the Capital Markets and Risk Advisory expertise found within large financial institutions. We utilize the firm’s strong relationship network throughout the restructuring process to access capital, identify potential partners and drive support for our transactions. Additionally, our deep relationships throughout the creditor and restructuring communities provide a comprehensive perspective from all constituents. We have no legacy balance sheet positions, nor do we have proprietary investments; this independence is critical to our ability to lead negotiations and maintain the confidence of all parties involved in the restructuring process.
To date, 60% of our company advisory work has been completed out of court and we maintain a highly respected in-court reputation when needed. Our integrated restructuring teams excel in finding the appropriate resolution for our clients and offer a wide range of services, including the following:
