Corporate finance adviser, Close Brothers Corporate Finance, has been renamed DC Advisory Partners.
The change in the company name follows the sale of Close Brothers Corporate Finance to Daiwa Capital Markets in July 2009. DC Advisory Partners remains an independent advisory business, with the capacity to draw on the resources of its parent operations in Asia and the United States.
The company currently has nine European offices (in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Poland), employing over 200 practitioners, and provides independent, conflict free advice through its pan-European offices and its sister companies in Asia and the United States. Its debt advisory and restructuring team is one of the largest in Europe, with 46 dedicated practitioners across Europe. It is currently advising on over 21 mandates for both borrowers and lenders.
“Our new name, DC Advisory Partners, marks the start of an exciting new stage for our business," says Stephen Aulsebrook (pictured), European Chief Executive of DC Advisory Partners. "Not only do we have the same team committed to giving the same high quality, independent advice, but we also have a parent company, Daiwa, that understands how important this independence is for our clients. Our extensive network of sister companies throughout Asia and the United States, enables us to give clients greater access to a global network of relationships and opportunities.”
