Decades of Experience
Ensis is led by senior restructuring professionals with more than 60 years of combined experience, having advised boards, sponsors, management teams and creditors through complex restructurings and financial situations.
Built for Today’s Middle Market
Midsize companies have historically not faced the complex financial challenges associated with the bespoke financings we see today. Ensis is the only true investment bank focused on the middle market with the ability to offer the comprehensive restructuring advice needed by these organizations and their stakeholders.
A Solutions, Outcome-Oriented Focus
Every company’s financial circumstances are different. Ensis looks beyond the traditional sell-side distressed M&A transactions typically applied to the middle market to design and execute bespoke capital solutions that work at all stages of a restructuring.
Cycle-Tested Judgment
Ensis leadership has worked with scores of organizations through a wide range of transaction formats, including liability management, complex capital raises, contentious Chapter 11 proceedings and cross border/multi-jurisdictional restructurings.
Serving the Full Spectrum of Stakeholders in Distressed Situations
We advise all parties involved in financial restructurings, including sponsors, companies, creditors, investors and intermediaries, bringing a thorough understanding of the complex dynamics associated with such transactions.
Independent and Institutional
Ensis is purposefully structured as an independent, senior-led platform to deliver comprehensive advisory capabilities while avoiding the conflicts of larger, traditional investment banks and advisory platforms.
A Full-Service Advisory Platform
Our boutique, independent model allows us to offer a unique value proposition to our clients. We offer a wider range of advisory services and relevant expertise than many incumbent middle market-focused service providers, with cost-effective, senior-level attention largely unavailable from leading restructuring boutiques.
