Bankruptcy & restructuring
Premium virtual data room solutions that help coordinate complex stakeholder processes and maximize value for creditors under intense time pressure.
Why work with us on your next bankruptcy or restructuring process.
Sterling provides the secure platform that enables professional bankruptcy and restructuring processes, whether you're managing an administration, debtor-in-possession or liquidation, pursuing reorganizations or coordinating creditor committees. Our platform handles complex financial records, maintains the detailed audit trails courts require and manages access across diverse stakeholder groups with different rights and interests.
Out virtual data rooms can launch quickly to support the sale of assets and business units, giving bidders the controlled disclosure environment they need to price accurately while helping maximize recoveries for creditors and other stakeholders. When time is critical, scrutiny is intense and regulatory compliance is mandatory, Sterling’s infrastructure and 24/7 support give all parties confidence that process integrity is maintained.
Ensure regulatory compliance and court requirements
Comprehensive audit trails document every action taken in the data room – who accessed what information and when – creating the detailed records courts and regulators require in bankruptcy proceedings. Our platform's security and access controls demonstrate proper information handling across stakeholder groups, while permission logs show compliance with court-ordered access restrictions and confidentiality requirements.
Coordinate across complex stakeholder groups
Manage access for creditor committees, potential acquirers, legal counsel, financial advisors and court-appointed professionals on one secure platform. Permission controls ensure each party sees only information they're entitled to access, Q&A management routes questions to appropriate parties, and activity tracking shows which workstreams are progressing – critical visibility when coordinating multiple stakeholders under tight timelines.
Prepare, launch and execute asset sales quickly
When time is critical in distressed situations, Sterling's rapid room setup and AI-powered organization help you prepare asset sale processes quickly. Bulk upload handles extensive financial records and operational documentation efficiently, our folder structure helps buyers navigate complex situations, and our 24/7 support ensures platform issues never delay processes when every day matters.
Maintain detailed documentation throughout
Detailed activity reports document stakeholder access to sensitive information, creating the comprehensive records that satisfy trustees, courts and creditors. Our audit capabilities track information flow throughout restructuring processes, demonstrating transparency and proper procedure that protects against challenges. When process integrity is under scrutiny, Sterling's documentation capabilities provide the evidence you need.

Always-on, 24/7 multilingual support for bankruptcy and restructuring processes
Bankruptcy and restructuring transactions are intense and fluid, with multiple stakeholders, aggressive timelines and high scrutiny. Sterling provides dependable support from the earliest contingency planning through creditor negotiations, court milestones and implementation.
Our team helps you design data rooms that reflect the capital structure and different stakeholder groups, create indexes and folders for financials, legal documentation and operational data, upload and maintain large volumes of time-sensitive information, and apply carefully controlled permissions for management, lenders, bondholders, trade creditors, buyers, advisors and courts. We configure Q&A workflows that fit your governance model, create dedicated workspaces for different parties, and manage invitations and training as new stakeholders join the process.
Support comes from our multilingual in-house staff, working 24/7/365 and available by phone or email, with an experienced deal manager who understands the pace and sensitivities of distressed situations. Unlike others, we never direct “after-hours” or weekend support to third-party call centers.
When plans are confirmed or transactions complete, we deliver encrypted archives and comfort letters rapidly to all required jurisdictions, ensuring that your bankruptcy and restructuring processes are fully documented for buyers, sellers, courts, regulators and future reviews.
