M&A & Corporate Finance Partner

Our client is an established independent Swiss Corporate Finance advisory firm with a strong track record in mid-market M&A.

The firm has been active in the Swiss market for more than two decades, advising entrepreneurs, shareholders, companies and investors on acquisitions, disposals, succession situations and other strategic transactions. Alongside its strong domestic presence, the firm provides access to an international M&A network for cross-border transactions.

This is an opportunity for an experienced M&A professional to join an entrepreneurial, Partner-led environment combining the independence of a boutique with an established transaction platform and experienced execution capabilities.
