Restructuring Compensation Services

Motivating Through Financial Distress

"In bankruptcy, retention can be key to maintaining ongoing business and shareholder values."

-Margaret Black, Managing Director

Support Throughout the Bankruptcy Process

There are several reasons why a corporation might find itself in financial distress: market instability, the cyclicality of certain industry sectors, executive mismanagement, or extraordinary circumstances outside a company’s control.

Once you've made the decision to restructure, or even if it's an option on the horizon, you have to focus on the retention of key employees. How they are compensated before a bankruptcy filing, during the bankruptcy, and post-bankruptcy is critical to successful emergence.

We are an experienced partner and can help you develop the right compensation strategy to meet changing short- and long-term business goals.

How We Work with You

Pearl Meyer is uniquely positioned to help organizations navigate this path. We draw on more than 30 years experience working with public and private boards and management teams, and help firms that are undergoing restructuring in the design of compensation programs that withstand court and creditor scrutiny and are proven to retain key talent.

We work with clients in dozens of sectors and customize compensation programs to the competitive dynamics of each industry, helping support your future business strategy post-bankruptcy. Our specific expertise includes working with clients in highly cyclical industries such as oil & gas, real estate, retail, restaurants, and hospitality.
