Mergers Alliance is the premier international partnership of independent market-leading corporate finance advisory firms, operating across most major economies with more than 300 professionals located in 27 countries. The organisation’s members work together to provide support on a range of transactions, including disposals, fundraising and financial restructuring, leveraging deep sector knowledge for the benefit of clients.
Evolve Corporate Finance, the specialist corporate finance advisory practice headquartered in Birmingham, has announced that it has joined as an exclusive UK member of the premier global M&A network Mergers Alliance as the firm continues to grow.
Evolve Corporate Finance’s membership in Mergers Alliance marks another important milestone in the firm’s growth strategy, strengthening its ability to build on the increasing volume and breadth of cross-border transactions advised on by the team. The partnership also provides access to specialist sector M&A expertise from across Mergers Alliance’s international network, creating new opportunities for businesses throughout the Midlands and the UK while enhancing the firm’s ability to draw on in-depth sector knowledge and increased geographical reach.
This news follows a period of strong growth for the firm, which has included the appointments of Richard Ellis and Tom Summers as partners, who joined in recent months to lead the firm’s East Midlands team based in Nottingham city centre.
David Neate, partner at Evolve Corporate Finance, added: “Over the last 18 months, we have achieved strong growth across the business, promoted talent from within, and strengthened our team through several key senior appointments. Joining Mergers Alliance is another important strategic step in our journey that significantly enhances our international reach and capabilities.
“While M&A activity across the Midlands has inevitably been affected by wider global events during that time, we are now seeing confidence and deal flow begin to return to more typical levels. The continued development of our business means we are well-positioned to capitalise on those opportunities and, most importantly, continue delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.”
Stas Michael, managing director of Mergers Alliance, adds: “We are pleased to welcome Evolve Corporate Finance to the Mergers Alliance partnership. Their extensive expertise, proven transaction track record and unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding client outcomes make them a highly valued addition to our global partnership. As our exclusive UK member firm, Evolve combines deep local market insight with the highest standards of professional excellence that international clients expect from a Mergers Alliance partner. We look forward to collaborating closely with the Evolve team to support cross-border opportunities and deliver meaningful value to clients throughout every stage of the transaction process.”
