Bankers from across the Middle East gathered to attend the Euromoney Middle East Awards for Excellence dinner at Grosvenor House Hotel in Dubai on Wednesday, June 26th. This year’s awards demonstrated the growing importance of leading local banks in the region. Winners in other investment banking categories include Goldman Sachs, HSBC, EFG, and winners in commercial banking categories including Bank Audi, Arab Bank, among others.
Broadgate Advisers was indeed recognized for its notable M&A deal track record but also for reinforcing its position as a full-fledged investment boutique with an established Multi-Family Office service offering, a new Infrastructure Advisory practice as well as a reputable Venture Capital business.
Rami Jisr, Managing Partner at Broadgate said on the occasion: “We are truly honored and humbled to be awarded the Best Investment Bank in Lebanon by Euromoney for the second year in a row. This award increases our drive to pursue excellence in every aspect of our business and reinforces our determination to abide by our strategy to keep our clients’ interest first. I thank the team for their hard work and above all our clients for entrusting us with their business”.
Habib Aoun, Partner and Head of Investment Banking at Broadgate commented: “The current challenging economic environment creates attractive opportunities for companies to consolidate their market position through M&A and unlock significant value upside from synergies. Broadgate’s team is proud to have successfully advised clients on a number of such transactions over the past year, further cementing its position as one of the most active advisory houses and one of the few regional franchises to appear on the M&A league tables in the Middle East.”
