Turnaround & Restructuring

Our Turnaround & Restructuring Practice Group delivers strategic, commercially grounded solutions to organisations facing financial distress, operational disruption, or acute stakeholder pressure. We support corporates, lenders, insolvency practitioners, creditors, investors, and public-sector institutions to stabilise businesses, preserve value, and execute restructurings that protect enterprise continuity and optimise recoveries.

We operate as a multidisciplinary team, blending restructuring and insolvency expertise with corporate finance insight, dispute strategy, and regulatory rigour. We are engaged on high-stakes mandates, whether to craft and drive turnaround plans, structure consensual or court-supervised restructurings, manage formal insolvency processes, or enforce and protect creditor rights, always with disciplined execution and clear governance lines.

Our work spans the full restructuring lifecycle, including independent business reviews and recovery planning, corporate governance implementation and business stabilisation, debt restructuring and refinancing, administration, schemes of arrangement, and distressed M&A. We are routinely appointed administrators and chief restructuring officers and act on complex, multi-creditor and, where applicable, multi-jurisdictional matters, navigating legal, commercial, and governance issues with precision, rooted in Nigerian insolvency and corporate law and informed by internationally recognised restructuring principles.

We advise financial institutions, DFIs, investment funds, multinational and indigenous corporates, and government-linked entities, clients who rely on sound judgment, responsiveness under pressure, and practical, time-critical counsel. As a pioneer in building a dedicated turnaround and restructuring capability in the Nigerian market, Stren & Blan Partners brings deep institutional knowledge shaped by early participation in complex mandates, supporting clients through distress and positioning them for durable, long-term outcomes.
