Special Situations Investment Banking (SSIB):

Capstone Partners' SSIB is an active, rapidly growing practice that provides investment banking and financial advisory services in complex situations -- both out-of-court and in chapter 11 reorganizations. The SSIB group, part of Capstone's Financial Advisory Services (FAS) team, is primarily a “company/debtor-side” advisor, with opportunistic representation of creditor and equity-holder constituencies. The group is led by seasoned professionals with decades of experience in special situations and restructuring transactions.

SSIB is seeking an experienced Vice President to join its Chicago, New York, or Boston office.
