Work Shaped by The Demands of The Case
Sosa Consultants advises on matters where financial pressure or formal proceedings require a more exact assessment of the options available. The focus is on identifying a route that can be supported by the facts and by the economics of the situation.
Restructuring
Restructuring For Situations That Need a Viable Route Forward
Restructuring is usually required when the existing footing of the business no longer supports the obligations placed on it. That may stem from debt burdens or holding arrangements that no longer work in present circumstances.
Sosa Consultants advises on restructurings where the priority is to preserve value and support a route that can be carried through in practice. This can involve informal negotiations, a court-sanctioned process, additional preparatory work, or an early assessment of whether the business can be stabilised before a wider solution is pursued.
Insolvency-Related Advisory
Navigating Situations Where Formal Risk Is Rising
When an informal outcome is beginning to fall away, the financial questions change. Attention turns to creditor pressure, available cash, the likely treatment of claims, and the consequences of entering a formal process.
Sosa Consultants advises on insolvency-related situations where decision makers need to understand what the position permits and how the likely outcome may shift depending on timing. This work may be undertaken for a company or for stakeholders seeking an independent assessment before taking a position.
Asset Recovery
Work Aimed at Locating and Protecting Recoverable Value
Asset recovery assignments often involve more than enforcement in the narrow sense. The real task may be to understand where value has moved, whether it remains reachable, how claims interact across jurisdictions, and what course of action is proportionate to the amount at stake.
Sosa Consultants supports asset recovery assignments with financial analysis tied to the recovery strategy. That can include ownership mapping, review of transaction history, assistance with evaluating recovery routes, and support for matters that proceed alongside insolvency or other formal proceedings. Public case studies in this area often show that recovery depends on sustained pressure across jurisdictions rather than a single procedural step.
Ownership and Holding Arrangements
When Current Arrangements Get in the Way
In some situations, the key issue lies in the way ownership rights and liabilities sit across the group. Legacy holdings, intercompany balances, shareholder arrangements, and related obligations can obstruct refinancing or settlement discussions and can complicate a wider restructuring exercise.
Sosa Consultants reviews these arrangements to identify where they are distorting incentives or limiting execution. The objective is to move towards a footing that is more workable for the next phase of the business, whether that is a refinancing, a negotiated outcome, a formal process, or a strategic transaction.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Transaction Work Where the Economics Have to Be Tested First
Acquisitions and disposals are often pursued at points where the underlying position is still moving. A seller may be responding to funding pressure, or the assets in question may have sat within a wider group for many years. Sosa Consultants advises on transactions where the economics require examination before terms are settled, including assessment of the target’s liabilities and liquidity, review of intercompany and ownership arrangements, analysis of what is being acquired, and consideration of how the transaction sits alongside any restructuring already in contemplation.
The work extends to transactions in markets where a client has not previously operated. Entering a new jurisdiction changes the questions that matter: how ownership is held, how obligations rank, how value can be moved after completion, and where execution is likely to be obstructed. Sosa Consultants advises on the financial dimension of those questions so that a transaction in an unfamiliar market can be assessed on the same basis as one at home.
Court-Sanctioned Processes
Financial Work for Matters Entering a Formal Framework
Where a case moves towards a court-supervised process, the quality of the financial analysis becomes central. The proposed route has to be supportable, and the underlying evidence must withstand scrutiny.
Sosa Consultants advises on the financial work behind court-supervised restructurings, including option analysis, recovery assessment, liquidity review, and support for the economic case underlying the proposed plan. This work is closely tied to legal process, stakeholder engagement, court timetables, and implementation risk.
