Navius | Special Situations

Every founder has a story. We help you navigate the hard chapters.

We support founders, board members and shareholders in situations where tensions have escalated and strategic, financial and legal interests converge. We restore direction, control and room for manoeuvre.

When to call on Special Situations

The conflict is visible. The cause runs deeper.

In structure, expectations and governance. Treating only the symptom costs time — and value.

Our role

We are not a mediator. We sit on your side of the table.

Navius works for one client and advises in that client's interest. We do not steer towards consensus, but towards a sustainable outcome that protects or restores value.

Deep M&A and restructuring experience
More than 100 transactions since 2002.
Sharp insight into governance and shareholder dynamics
From our own roles as board members and investors.
Financial analysis with strategic judgement
Numbers that give direction, not just account for the past.
Rapid clarity in complex situations
Without downplaying the complexity or the tension.
Our approach

From reacting to steering, in four steps.

  1. 1

    Situation & playing field

    Insight before action

    Shareholder structure and governance, interests and dependencies, financial and legal constraints, and realistic scenarios in case of escalation or standstill.

  2. 2

    Position & direction

    From reacting to steering

    Defining a clear position, weighing strategic options, setting boundaries and objectives, and preparing decisions and conversations.

  3. 3

    Routes to a solution

    Making choices possible

    Shareholder restructuring, buy-out, buy-in or exit, a strategic transaction, or changes to governance and management — each one substantively underpinned.

  4. 4

    Execution

    Involved until the decision

    Guiding negotiations, aligning with lawyers, accountants and investors, and safeguarding pace, coherence and substance until decision or transaction.

Who it is for

For those with real stakes.

Founders

with responsibility and a long-term vision.

Shareholders

who want movement in a deadlocked situation.

Board members

caught between conflicting interests.

Not intended for mediation or situations without real stakes.

For the moments when the stakes rise and direction is needed.

A first conversation with a partner is confidential and without obligation. The sooner, the more room for manoeuvre.
