We assist companies and investors around the world in the origination, execution and management of their cross-border investments.

 

We connect buyers with sellers.  We identify off-market investment opportunities globally.  We assist companies in sourcing investors and financing to sustain their growth, or we help them find an exit from an investment.

​

We cover the world. With over 20 years of involvement in cross-border M&A, private equity, project finance, leveraged finance and capital markets transactions across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and North America, we are ideally placed to assist investors who are venturing outside the comfort zone of their native region of operation.

​

What makes us different.  The experience and advice we are able to contribute is not exclusively “technical” (how to structure the transaction), but also, and equally importantly, “cultural”: we have been there before, we speak the language, we know the local culture – all of which enables us to bridge the gap and form an invaluable bond between our clients and their counterparties.

​

 

Origination

​

Drawing from an extensive network of contacts across the world, we are able to identify suitable investment targets for prospective investors, across the globe and in any industrial sector.  

Similarly, when our clients are looking to exit an investment, or seeking further equity investors or debt financing for their companies, we are able to locate suitable counterparties to address their goals.

​

Execution

​

We advise buyers and sellers in cross-border M&A and private equity investments in the structuring and execution of the transaction.

We assist our clients in selecting local legal advisors, tax advisors and, where necessary, financial advisors. We then supervise and co-ordinate the input to be provided by such professionals until closing, thus ensuring efficiency and cost-savings in the management of the transaction.

 

Management

​

We are routinely brought in by our clients to advise on specific issues arising from their existing foreign investments, in contexts where our familiarity with the local culture, local practice and ability to work with local experts and advisors becomes essential to identifying a solution to the client’s needs.
