Our Name
When starting a new venture, choosing a name is critical – as it signifies brand identity, the character of the founders, and the ethos of the firm.
Ensis is Latin for “sword”. Our invocation of this instrument of war reflects the “double-edged” nature of financial restructuring, wherein a precise application of tools can either save a company or do irreparable harm.
A blade also conveys surgical precision in cutting unsustainable debt and carving new paths to solvency, while referencing the sword’s historical role as a defensive weapon, positioning us as an advisory “shield” for companies in distress.
Lastly, a martial reference reflects the seriousness associated with companies facing a difficult financial situation, and the skill and expertise necessary in wielding one’s capabilities to achieve a successful result.
