Different Opportunities In Search for off Market Deals: Pharmaceutical

In tapping my network for potential off-market deals, a few alternatives to traditional ETA have presented themselves. I still can't figure out if they are distractions or the universe's way of redirecting me, but either way, I'm taking some initial steps to figure it out.

Most recently, when approaching a like-minded friend who is a physician but very entrepreneurial, he mentioned that one of his manufacturers of generic pharma drugs had filed for Chapter 11. He wanted to pursue them for acquisition for vertical integration of his business model.

At the onset, the deal seems like a sweetheart where his pharma company would guarantee production. However, I'm in need of help navigating this pharma world to evaluate operations.

Does anyone know of any financial or technical experts in pharma manufacturing (specifically CMO)?
