TMA Global Chair Rachael Smiley sits down with Greenberg Traurig’s Alan Brody to talk relationship capital — and why the trust professionals build early can pay off when clients need it most. Watch the latest installment of TMA’s Leading Edge Series now.
ABF Journal shares the latest episode of the Turnaround Management Association (TMA) 10-part Leading Edge Series, produced in partnership with Second Wind Consultants and Rise Alliance. The series spotlights the people and perspectives shaping the turnaround and restructuring industry.
The new episode, “Relationship Capital: Creating Efficiency in Distress,” features a conversation between TMA Global Chair Rachael Smiley of FBFK Law and Alan Brody, a partner in the Restructuring & Special Situations Practice Group at Greenberg Traurig.
Smiley and Brody discuss how speed, collaboration and trust among professionals can make a critical difference when time and resources are limited, and why “relationship capital” matters in an industry built on collaboration. Through TMA, they note, professionals can build trust well before they find themselves on opposite sides of a negotiating table — relationships that can ultimately benefit clients navigating difficult situations.
Watch the full interview for insights on the evolving restructuring landscape, the value of professional trust and how investing in relationships can drive greater efficiency in distressed situations.
