Empowering Insolvency administrators' driving in-court processes
As advisors, supporting in-court restructurings into accelerated and overseen springboard for enterprise value preservation and creation.
Lagarde & Guardsmen is the Activist Advisor to the Builders.
Activist: We are with you on the long term, supporting you across your build, not only when you need it. As sentinels, if we see you moving away from your values, and ours, we address it. Our standards for you and us, above our interests, always.
Advisor: We do not advise you out of unlived experience - as an entrepreneurial firm, previously investor, board member, corporate issuer, corporate borrower, lender, and consultant, we know how to engage with all stakeholders to create long term value.
As Guardsmen of enduring enterprise value, we integrate financial restructuring, operational transformation, cultural redesign, and long-term growth into a single method.
This method is Enterprise Value Optimisation.
Common Challenges for Insolvency Administrators
Throughput over Transformation
Stakeholder Gridlock
Low operational insights for turnaround
Timing Dilutes Value
Disjointed Execution Power
Mandates prioritize volume, not sustainable outcomes.
Conflicting interests across financial, commercial, creditors, equity holders, management and courts, delay decisive action.
Lack of operational proximity impedes turnaround intelligence and value preservation opportunities.
Compressed timelines available for turnaround and lengthy, inefficient processes obstruct meaningful reset capacity.
Fragmented mandates weaken delivery, continuity, and accountability.
How Lagarde & Guardsmen supports professionals in court-appointed restructurings
Lagarde exists to empower restructuring professionals in their ongoing restructuring cases by deepening and scaling their central role in value creation opportunity.
