Our client, a controlling shareholder in a well-known business, was under pressure to part with a large stake after his wife – also on the payroll – claimed a key role in the firm’s success. Working with forensic accountants, we challenged inflated assumptions and negotiated down the company’s valuation, securing staggered lump sum payments that protected cash flow and ownership. A carefully structured deal allowed early release from maintenance obligations, and we continued supporting the client post-order with refinancing strategies. The outcome safeguarded the business, restored financial stability, and left our client equipped to focus on future growth.
