Best restructuring / turnaround PE shops

Looking for very good restructuring shops a la SVP - anyone working in similar shops (distressed / turnaround PE) and can share experience?

Thanks

“Javier Barrena provided really detailed walkthrough on how he approached a similar tasking before, and although I entered the session not knowing how to approach this case study at all, I have a much clearer picture now. This session was extremely effective, and it's fortunate that he had the availability to do this despite my case study task coming in at a very last minute.”

“Jorge was very practical and generous with his time. He gave me a clear action plan: tighten my elevator pitch to under 2 min, do a weekly modelling case study, and prep technicals, market questions and behaviourals. His networking advice (always ask each contact for 1-2 more names, track fund closes to spot hiring windows, a list of London infra headhunters) was very actionable. He also referred me internally to Nuveen within a week. Only point to improve: I’m still waiting for his feedback on the case studies I sent.”

Platinum, KPS, and Marlin are very good. Other groups that come to mind are Wynnchurch, Comvest, and Sun Capital. Monomoy looks interesting.
