| Commitments and Contingencies | Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies Indemnifications The Company enters into certain contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company expects no claims or losses pursuant to these contracts; therefore, no liability has been recorded related to these indemnification provisions. Legal Contingencies From time to time, the Company is named as a defendant in legal actions relating to transactions conducted in the ordinary course of business. Some of these matters may involve claims of substantial amounts. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such legal actions, in the opinion of management and, after consultation with external counsel, the Company believes it is neither probable nor reasonably possible that any current legal proceedings or claims would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. In 2015, the Company filed a complaint against three former partners and one former employee which alleges they entered into a scheme while at PWP to lift out the Company’s restructuring group to secretly form a new competing firm in breach of their contractual and fiduciary duties. The complaint contains 14 causes of action and seeks declaratory relief as well as damages. A bench trial took place from January 24, 2025 through March 14, 2025. The court has yet to issue a decision. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized a net credit of $4.3 million in legal and professional fees related to this litigation, reflecting insurance recoveries in excess of previous estimates. No amount was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2026. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $1.4 million and $12.7 million of legal and professional fees related to this litigation, net of expected insurance reimbursement. These litigation costs are included in Professional fees on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
