McColl Partners, LLC ("McColl Partners") is pleased to announce that the firm has joined Clairfield Partners ("Clairfield"), a partnership of nine premier middle-market investment banks throughout Europe and Australia. As a member of Clairfield, McColl Partners will enhance its global presence and access to international acquirors of U.S. based middle-market companies. The Clairfield partnership shares M&A and capital raising resources among the member firms in order to best serve the needs of middle-market companies and private equity firms in the origination and execution of cross-border transactions. In 2008, Clairfield Partners placed at the top of the Thompson Reuters ranking of middle-market European and Australian advisory firms.
"Over the past several years, we have closed several cross-border transactions; however, our partnership with the Clairfield network firms will enable us to accelerate our communications with foreign strategic acquirors. Additionally, we look forward to assisting our new partner banks as they work with clients in pursuit of U.S.-based investments," said Dave Vorhoff, co-founder and Managing Director of McColl Partners, who has been working with the Clairfield team to facilitate the collaboration.
"We are very pleased that McColl Partners has joined Clairfield," said Sir Francis Mackay, Chairman of Carlton Partners LLP (Clairfield partner firm in the United Kingdom) and former Chairman of Compass Group PLC. "McColl Partners complements the strength, focus and success that Clairfield Partner firms have in Europe with a similar leading firm in the United States. Dave Vorhoff and I have had the opportunity to work together over 20 years and this new partnership deepens and enhances that relationship."
Clairfield Partners has closed 136 deals over the last three years. Forty-two of these transactions were cross-border.
"In the brief time that we have been a partner of Clairfield, we have already been able to assist a number of our private equity clients with unique access to middle-market acquirors in Europe for their portfolio companies, as well as provide them with proprietary investment opportunities," stated Brian Davis, Managing Director of McColl Partners and head of the firm's Financial Sponsors Group.
