Restructurings and Special Situations

Special situations require senior judgment and disciplined execution. When timelines compress, financing tightens, or stakeholders diverge, the objective is to stabilize the process and preserve options. Hiro Law supports US-Mexico transactions under stress with principal-led strategy, documentation, and closing execution.

Selected Experience

  • Led a cross-border stakeholder restructuring for a Mexico-based operating business with a U.S. holding company under cash flow constraints, resetting the process, negotiating debt and equity changes across stakeholders, and aligning conflicting positions to preserve a workable path forward.
  • Restructured an acquisition after a post-close integration failure created uncontrolled liability exposure and shutdown risk, implementing a process reset, reallocating risk, establishing liability cutoffs and post-close protections, and repricing terms to avoid termination or litigation.
  • Negotiated a resolution to a dispute between joint venture partners that was driving acute cash flow strain and regulatory risk for a medical services business with cross-border management, creating an enforceable framework that prevented escalation and stabilized operations.
  • Advised the board and senior management of a cross-border software company with government contracts on practical, implementable FCPA risk controls, improving readiness under real operating constraints and reducing exposure in the company's contracting posture.
  • Led a multi-jurisdiction restructuring across more than five countries on a coordinated execution calendar, managing corporate, tax, employment, and commercial workstreams through local counsel to deliver a unified, controllable outcome.
