Roundtable: Special situation market players find special purpose | Real Deals

Sullivan Street Partners‘ Zeina Bain took part in Real Deals‘ Special Situation Roundtable hosted at Six Park Place.

The roundtable discussion explored what to expect in this segment of the market in 2024 in terms of investor appetite, deal dynamics, and management approach. Whilst discussing the headwinds that businesses are faced with, we examined the possibilities these might create in the special situations space – ranging from scope for value creation, the need for more proactive ownership, and the new investment opportunities that may arise.

As investors focused on complex or operationally-involved situations, this was a great opportunity to draw on our experience working with management teams across businesses facing different challenges, and to hear what our peers are doing in this space during this eventful time.

It was a pleasure taking part in such a thought-provoking conversation alongside other sector specialists Jat Bains from Macfarlanes, Alchemy Partners ’ Thomas Boszko, Alex Cadwallader from Leonard Curtis, Tom Callaghan from Endless LLP, AURELIUS’ Tristan Nagler, and Ridgeway Capital Llp’s Ari Stavropoulos. Many thanks to Alice Murray, Taku Dzimwasha, and the Real Deals events team for organising this insightful roundtable discussion!
