Professionals

Atalon's principals and managing directors are actively and intimately involved with each engagement from start to finish. Atalon will not get involved in a troubled situation unless our team can design and implement the solutions and directly effectuate the outcome. Our end goal isn't reports, presentations, or consultant opinions; we measure success by implementing and resolving problems.

Atalon's principals and managing directors include former managers, financial advisors, operational advisors, and equity owners who have functioned in many roles involving distressed situations, including Interim/Crisis Management and Chief Restructuring Officer/Chief Restructuring Advisor. Our advisory skill set, along with our applied experience and responsibilities in other challenging situations and environments, differentiates our firm from other financial advisors and interim managers.

Distressed Situation

Distressed situations often arise not only from fluctuations and deterioration's in market conditions, but also by failed execution and implementation of business plans, and/or an inability of management to react to market changes. Organizations are often aligned to faulty projections, while ease of capital availability results in inefficiencies, excess costs and overhead, and poor accountability. Legal risks also increase as companies expand or embark on new opportunities. Creditors are not provided timely or accurate reports on company status. Further, financial forecasts and business plans lack reasonableness or credibility.

The distressed situation usually results in complex, inter-related issues that require comprehensive solutions. Unless all drivers of the business are addressed and synchronized-market, legal, financial, and operational-poorly formulated solutions will result.

Sensitivity and Offerings

Atalon is sensitive to and focused on restoring credibility and trust to companies or creditors experiencing troubled situations. Depending on the circumstances, we can assume leadership roles and provide necessary resources to implement and drive change throughout an organization and maximize recovery value. We can also help creditors and investors understand and evaluate ownership or management risks and the viability of existing business plans. Atalon can also identify, explore, and quantify various operational and strategic alternatives that may confront a troubled situation. Additionally, we can deploy our team of experts to implement cost containment, cash management, and third-party reporting initiatives that are essential to business survival and for regaining the trust of stakeholders.
