Equiteq picks up two wins at International M&A Awards

Global deal advisory firm Equiteq has been celebrated for its international M&A work. The firm walked away from the International M&A Awards with two prizes – including an individual prize for the best boutique investment bank in Europe.

The annual International M&A Awards ceremony recognises the leading transactions, restructurings, deal financings, products and services, and firms which impact mergers and acquisitions across borders. Hosted by industry publication The M&A Advisor, the 13th annual ceremony has seen a Equiteq pick up two top prizes.

Equiteq is an international provider of strategic advisory and M&A services to consulting firms and the broader knowledge economy. With offices in New York, London, Paris, Singapore and Sydney, the firm offers clients true global reach.

This work was the subject of one of the prizes. Equiteq featured in the winning M&A Deal of the Year – for a deal valued between $50 million and $100 million – due to its involvement in the purchase of 4C by Wipro. Equiteq advised 4C on its sale to Wipro. Other parties involved included Baker & Mackenzie, BDO, DLA Piper, and CVBA/SCRL. 

Equiteq also featured in the same category in 2021. The firm advised Kartesia as part of the acquisition of Global Sales Training Inc (Richardson), by Sales Performance International – which also won M&A Deal of the Year worth between $50 million and $100 million.

Equiteq’s CEO, David Jorgenson, remarked, “We are proud to have been recognised again by the M&A industry. At Equiteq our mission is to provide entrepreneurs and investors with differentiated, insight-driven advice that delivers the best transaction outcomes. This achievement has been made possible by our tremendously talented global team and the expertise they deliver to clients every day.”

Elsewhere, Equiteq was also lauded with an individual award for its contributions to financing. The firm was named Boutique Investment Bank of the Year – Europe. It is the third time in five years that the company has scooped the prestigious prize.

Commenting on Equiteq’s success, Founder and CEO of The M&A Advisor, Roger Aguinaldo, said, “Equiteq was chosen from over 250 participating companies to receive the award. It gives us great pleasure to recognise Equiteq and bestow upon them our highest honour for international M&A firms and professionals. Equiteq represents the best of the international M&A industry in 2021 and earned these honours by standing out in a group of very impressive candidates.”
