BELGRAVIA BRINGS AN UNCOMMON LEVEL OF SKILLS AND JUDGEMENT
To THE FINANCIAL ADVISORY PROCESS AND TO EACH TRANSACTION.
Belgravia Partners is a premier, independent M&A and corporate finance advisory firm with world-class expertise and global reach.
UNIQUE DEDICATION
At the core of our firm's financial advisory services are our unique effort and capability to understand our clients’ strategic objectives and to realise them efficiently and effectively. Belgravia's clients receive direct and continuing attention from senior professionals, who remain committed throughout the client relationship. Our fully dedicated senior partners work hands-on, rigorously stressing insight and excellence, on each and every assignment. The senior professionals of Belgravia Partners are among the most successful and experienced in the financial services industry having accumulated many years of advisory experience in hundreds of transactions. They bring an uncommon level of skills and judgment to the financial advisory process and to each transaction.
BESPOKE ADVICE
We deploy our partners' extensive experience with the sole ultimate aim of realising our clients' goals. Our firm structures each mandate on a bespoke basis, typically involving several phases of retainer consultancy, ensuring there is never an undue bias toward seeing a particular transaction materialise. This can often be a key differentiating factor vis-à-vis larger corporate and investment banks. A further differentiating factor closely tied to our guiding principles is our conflict-free advice, safeguarded through the absence of principal investment, trading, market making or lending involvement.
NO PARALLEL INTERESTS
Our firm commits entirely to its corporate client base. The absence of trading activities and brokerage means our clients need not be concerned about hedge fund interests. The absence of equity research means our clients can engage us without suffering disruptions to their stock coverage. The absence of lending activities means our clients get advice that is not skewed toward minimising credit risk or bank exposure. Our guiding principle is our client's long-term shareholder value.
WORLD-CLASS ANALYTICAL AND EXECUTION COMPETENCE
We provide strategic and financial advice of the highest caliber in connection with a wide range of situations. Our senior partners have advised on some of the most complex and demanding recapitalisation and strategic review mandates in recent history, and have world-class academic qualifications in finance. We advise corporate managements on industrial and financial strategy, including competitive positioning, (re)designing equity stories, realising acquisitions, optimising capital structure, negotiating with lenders, raising capital, conducting strategic review- and divestiture processes, as well as defending against shareholder activism or hostile takeover approaches.
PRACTICE AREAS
