What our investment banking advisory covers

Our investment banking advisory in Dubai spans the full capital stack: equity capital raising (tickets USD 5m to 300m), debt advisory and private credit (USD 10m to 500m and above), mergers and acquisitions, real estate and data-centre financing, and alternatives including fund placement and US pre-IPO secondaries. Each mandate is scoped, structured and run by a partner.

Boutique investment banking advisory vs a full-service bank

A boutique means focus and alignment. Senior bankers run the work, not a pyramid of juniors; there is no lending book or trading desk, so the advice stays independent and conflict-free; and incentives are aligned to the client’s outcome, not to cross-selling balance-sheet products. It is the investment banking advisory capability the Dubai and GCC mid-market needs, without the conflicts of a balance-sheet bank.

Sectors and deal sizes we work on

The partner team has originated and led over USD 2bn of transactions across eight sectors: technology, healthcare, real estate, energy, food and beverage, mining, media and financial services. M&A transactions typically run USD 25m to 500m and above, with equity and debt raises sized to the mandate.

Why founders, developers and family offices in Dubai and the GCC work with us

Clients get a partner in the room from origination to close, access to a curated base of 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and speed: on a well-prepared mandate, a first term sheet is typically targeted within 30 days. Confidential, senior-led and aligned, from Business Bay across the GCC.
