We act for both public and privately owned companies, private equity groups, hedge funds and other groups of shareholders or creditors. Clients range from very substantial companies or financial institutions to those of a more modest size. We have advised on transactions involving debt in excess of €1 billion and less than €50 million.

We are fully independent and provide you with a comprehensive and expert assessment of the funding options available. DC Advisory Partners always works in partnership with its clients and does not participate in any resulting financing, thereby ensuring that there are no conflicts of interest.
