Birwood identifies and acquires debt instruments and assets trading at distressed or dislocated valuations, often in situations marked by legal or structural complexity. We leverage deep market relationships to source off-market opportunities and execute trades rapidly, capturing value through repricing and active asset management. 

We specialize in purchasing creditor claims arising from insolvencies, litigation, or restructuring processes, providing liquidity to claimholders and pursuing recoveries through legal or negotiated resolution. Our expertise in cross-border claims enforcement enables efficient monetization of assets otherwise considered illiquid or encumbered.

Birwood advises creditors, corporates, and investors navigating special situations where capital structure, governance, and strategy require recalibration. We combine restructuring insight with transaction execution, guiding clients through debt negotiations, operational turnarounds, and post-restructuring optimization.

Through managed vehicles and bespoke mandates, Birwood provides investors exposure to distressed and special situation opportunities across Europe and beyond. Our fund platform aligns institutional capital with a disciplined, opportunistic investment philosophy focused on downside protection and asymmetric returns.
