Financial Sponsors Advice

The private equity, venture capital and broader financial sponsor communities have become incredibly influential over the last decade or so.

The private equity, venture capital and broader financial sponsor communities have become incredibly influential over the last decade or so. The last two or three years have thrown up some exceptional challenges for investors and such challenges will continue to shape the deal-making landscape over the medium term. However, our business’s focus on serving this investor community, and their investee companies and management teams, continues undiminished.

Our European-wide team has a long track record of advising financial sponsors at all stages of the investment cycle. We work with financial sponsors who originate and execute both domestically and on a pan-European basis, across the whole spectrum of transaction values.

We provide our full suite of advisory services to our European financial sponsor clients including M&A, debt advice, restructuring advice and ECM advice. The fact that we provide only advice, and not financing product, means that we are focussed entirely on securing the best outcome for our clients in all situations. Independence is at the heart of everything that we do.

Our broad geographic reach, with well-established offices across Continental Europe and in the UK, and an international platform via our sister companies which spans Asia and the US, is unique in the mid-market.

Our M&A and ECM advisory business is sector focussed – our detailed knowledge of sector dynamics, local contacts and international relationships are sought by financial sponsor clients who are themselves sector specialists, as well as by those who adopt a more generalist approach to investing.

Our independent debt advisory team operates across the European debt and capital markets, representing clients on a daily basis. The team’s knowledge and understanding of current and likely future market dynamics, and the fact that our advice is entirely free of conflict, means that our clients are receiving timely, well-informed advice in their own best interests.

Our pan-European restructuring team has advised on some of the largest and most complicated restructurings that have been completed to date. DC Advisory Partners has been the creative energy behind some of the ground-breaking restructuring transactions that have shaped the current market precedents for restructurings in Europe.

It is our informed, insightful and expert advice that makes a material difference to the outcome for our private equity, venture capital and other financial sponsor clients.
