ABOUT STARBOARD
Starboard Restructuring Partners is an independent restructuring firm focused on advisory, distressed investing and provision of interim management.
The firm fills a gap in the Brazilian market for sophisticated restructuring solutions and funding for distressed companies. Starboard’s goal is to provide bespoke solutions for businesses with inefficient capital structures while simultaneously protecting and enhancing enterprise value.
Our team is formed by 32 restructuring and corporate professionals who began working together in 2013, having executed 18 highly complex restructuring transactions since then. Circa US$ 750M of new money was raised and deployed as catalyst for these completed transactions. We pioneered innovative restructuring techniques and new ways of working with shareholders and creditors of distressed companies in Brazil.
Through our advisory services we gain operational and financial insight into companies that allow us to identify opportunities to catalyze restructuring settlements through injection of capital and lead to exclusive invitations from shareholders and creditors to participate and/or advise in funding. To capitalize on these opportunities, we raised the first Special Situations Fund for single-name distressed investing in Brazil.
As a result of our experience and success with Fund 1, Starboard has equipped itself with resources and new capital to continue to implement value-oriented conclusive restructuring and recapitalization solutions for high profile special situations cases.
We believe that our extensive experience and unparalleled credibility with market participants in the Brazilian restructuring market allow us to find optimal solutions to highly complex problems and measure our performance not by short-term results but by the long-term success of our clients. When partnering with Starboard, you can expect significant engagement with veteran dealmakers and industry experts, first-class transaction execution, strong performance and the highest standard of discretion.
