Capital Markets Structuring & Placement

We support mid-sized companies in accessing the capital markets—from strategic decision-making and structuring through to the successful placement of capital market–based debt financing.

A core element of our advisory approach is a comprehensive capital markets suitability analysis, assessing whether a transaction aligns with the company’s strategic objectives, capital structure, and business model, and identifying the instrument that best meets these requirements.

We support companies in accessing the capital markets and advise on whether — and which — capital markets instrument best fits their corporate strategy, often in the form of a bond (bearer note).
