Full Credential Description
Bryan, Garnier Co., a prominent independent investment bank focused on the European technology and healthcare sectors, faced the challenge of expanding its global reach and enhancing its service offerings. The firm sought to leverage a partnership that would facilitate significant cross-border growth opportunities for its European clients, particularly in the U.S. market. To address these needs, White Case LLP provided comprehensive legal advisory during Bryan Garniers acquisition by Stifel Financial Corp. This strategic acquisition was aimed at evolving Stifels European operating model by integrating Bryan Garniers capabilities in healthcare and technology, which are two of Stifels largest investment banking verticals. The collaboration was expected to enhance the service portfolio of both firms, allowing them to capitalize on their combined expertise in mergers and acquisitions, equity capital markets, and private placements. The results of this acquisition were significant. Together, Stifel and Bryan Garnier have successfully led over 500 transactions in the European technology and healthcare sectors since 2020, which includes advisory roles in sponsor-led MA, equity, and debt deals. This partnership not only positioned Bryan Garnier for substantial growth in the U.S. but also reinforced Stifels presence in the European market, ultimately benefiting both firms and their clients through expanded service capabilities and enhanced market reach.
