Special Situations
Special situations is for complexity and transition — companies and assets that need a more careful structure than a standard process allows.
Some situations are special because the capital structure is tangled, the timeline is short, or the operating story does not match a conventional fund mandate. Equity Capital’s special situations practice is where those conversations start. We look for clarity: what is actually broken, who must agree, and what kind of partnership would be useful.
A practice, not a promise
We do not advertise recovery rates or a house style of distress. Special situations work can touch corporate transitions, unusual real estate, or capital structures that sit between private equity and credit. The common thread is judgment under incomplete information, and a firm that can administer whatever vehicle or partnership follows.
Managers pursuing a special-situations strategy can connect that work to GP Partnership, management company administration, and compliance support. Operators who know a particular corner of the market can come in as a sector expert. See the full map on sectors.
