Debt Advisory
We run competitive debt advisory processes on behalf of corporate clients and PE-backed businesses, sourcing and structuring optimal financing from across the European credit market.

- Acquisition finance, including MBOs and bolt-on acquisitions.

- Energy transition and project-related financing.
- Covenant and lender relationship management.
