Recovery, workout and restructuring advisory
Acolys advises specialty insurers, Lloyd's syndicates and lenders on claims recovery, workout and restructuring across the political risk, trade credit and credit markets.
What we do
We work alongside insurers, syndicates and lenders facing distressed and special-situation exposures. Whether you need unbiased advice, hands-on execution or a second view to test a strategy, we engage at the level that suits you — and stay close to the matter from first signs of distress through to resolution.
Our Expertise
Our team brings together underwriting, banking, accounting and recovery experience across multiple jurisdictions and languages. That mix lets us read a distressed situation from every angle — credit, legal, structural and commercial — and translate it into decisions that improve financial performance rather than simply documenting the loss.
