International Corporate Finance

Track record: It was a prosperous year for DC

Advisory, which assisted the Casino Group

in reorganizing its activities in Latin America

for a total transaction amount of €1.7 billion.

Furthermore, the firm counseled the electrical

equipment manufacturer Legrand during its

acquisition of the British company CP Elec-

tronics, and Daikin during its purchase of

Zanotti.

Team & differentiation: Particularly bloo-

ming in an international context, the invest-

ment bank is organized into sector-specific

teams, covering industrial, TMT, real estate,

infrastructure, healthcare, consumer and

retail, as well as business services sectors.

It is notable that DC Advisory also counsels

major groups with regard to the sales of their

non-strategic activities.
