Turnaround Awards

The M&A Advisor had the inauguration of its first Annual Turnaround Awards on March 19, 2007 during The M&A Advisor Turnarounds Conference and Awards Dinner held at the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida.

The organization created the Turnaround Awards to enhance its dedication to promoting and recognizing excellence in middle-market company finance.

Some of the potential winners of the Turnaround Awards may be relatively easy to spot, since a successful reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code is an open process, leaving a paper trail laid down under requirements of public notice to the community. However, untold numbers of turnarounds occur in the shadows, and their authors, too, should receive the honors due to them -- to the extent they and their clients are willing to acknowledge such delicate matters. Often circumventing need for recourse to the bankruptcy laws, middle-market finance, legal, accounting, and consulting professionals work diligently and discreetly with distressed companies to aid their recovery from downturns and missteps. Organizing timely refinancing or capital restructuring, spotting saleable assets that don’t fit the mix, renegotiating debt and payment schedules, helping to streamline internal procedures, these advisors and financiers most often must work in the shadows to keep their clients’ difficulties below the radar of creditors and competitors.

The M&A Advisor Turnaround Awards include awards for successful corporate recoveries under Bankruptcy and informal procedures. The Awards honor the professional firms, investors, and consultants whose activities save jobs and contribute to the country’s economic health.
