HF case studies?
Just curious if anyone has any case studies they could share from interviews/jobs, interested in distressed related case studies but open to any to practice.

Most of the distressed/event driven case studies I've been given are just along the lines of "here's a company XYZ. Go through cap structure and recommend any debt/equity security (or trade) you would invest in (if any) and how and why you think about the opportunity"
Could you share a sample company?
event driven samples I can think of are DFRG/HPT. For distressed/special sits credit I had to do MGI/UNIT. You can literally pick any company you think is having a hard time right now and do that as a case study or maybe you think there's an event driven angle to some company. Doesn't matter if you actually come up with a recommendation or not, at least you will know how to walk through the cap structure, what to look at, how to value stuff, etc.
what's your work flow / process with going through these case studies? does it differ between event-driven and distressed?
