In the event of a continued economic downturn, revenues from mergers and acquisitions advisory activities may decline further, and it is unlikely that revenues from financing advisory and restructuring activities will fully offset any such decline
Our merger and acquisition and financing advisory and restructuring engagements are singular in nature and do not provide for subsequent engagements
A high percentage of our financial advisory revenues are derived from a few clients and the termination of any one financial advisory engagement could reduce our revenues and harm our operating results
Investment gains from our merchant banking funds and other principal investments vary from period to period; these gains may not recur and may not be replaced by other gains; our investments may lose money
There will not be a consistent pattern in our financial results from quarter to quarter, which may result in increased volatility of our stock price
Our investment portfolio contains investments in high-risk, illiquid assets
We value our merchant banking portfolio and other investments each quarter using a fair value methodology, which could result in gains or losses to the firm; the fair value methodology may over- or under-state the ultimate value we will realize
Investors in our merchant banking funds may elect to remove us as the general partner of those funds at any time without cause. Such removal would lead to a decrease in our revenues, which could be substantial and lead, therefore, to a material adverse effect on our business
A significant deterioration in the credit markets or the failure of one or more banking institutions could adversely affect our ability to access the cash invested by us
We face strong competition from far larger firms and other independent firms
Strategic investments, acquisitions and joint ventures, or foreign expansion may result in additional risks and uncertainties in our business
Greenhill s managing directors own a significant portion of the common stock of the firm and their interests may differ from those of our public shareholders
Employee misconduct could harm Greenhill and is difficult to detect and deter
We may face damage to our professional reputation and legal liability to our clients and affected third parties if our services are not regarded as satisfactory
We are subject to extensive regulation in the financial services industry
Change in applicable regulatory schemes could adversely affect our business
Legal restrictions on our clients may reduce the demand for our services
Fees earned in connection with advisory assignments in the bankruptcy context may be subject to challenge and reduction
Our share price may decline due to the large number of shares eligible for future sale
A significant portion of the compensation of our managing directors is paid in restricted stock units and the shares we expect to issue on the vesting of those restricted stock units could result in a significant increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding
The market price of our common stock may decline
We have experienced rapid growth over the past several years, which may be difficult to sustain and which may place significant demands on our administrative, operational and financial resources
