Special Situations

Our Special Situations practice is dedicated to guiding clients through complex, cross-border, high-stakes scenarios where swift, strategic legal solutions are essential. We focus on matters that fall outside the ordinary course of business—moments of disruption, transformation, or opportunity that require deep expertise and creative problem-solving. Whether a company is navigating financial distress, responding to shareholder activism, facing regulatory intervention, or pursuing distressed M&A opportunities, our team provides tailored advice that protects value and positions clients for long-term success.

Our lawyers bring experience across a broad spectrum of special situations, including restructuring and insolvency proceedings, crisis-driven litigation, corporate governance challenges, debt and equity recapitalizations, cross-border workouts, and opportunistic investments. We also advise on strategic asset sales, liability management transactions, and contingency planning for distressed businesses. By combining sharp legal insight with practical, commercially-minded strategies, Kepler-Karst helps clients seize opportunities and mitigate risks in some of the most challenging and dynamic circumstances they face.
