Within these sectors, Euro-Phoenix staff have honed a vast array of skills required to successfully execute corporate finance transactions.

Management: Euro-Phoenix principles have held senior leadership positions with major corporations, government ministries, law firms and international lending institutions.

Valuation: Our team has provided detailed valuations of enterprises, markets and specific projects for our clients. We are equally proficient in a variety of valuation techniques including discounted cash flow, comparative valuations and transactional multiples.

Legal: A number of our staff have legal training and experience. We do not, however, provide legal services. Our legal perspective does, however, facilitate our ability to creatively structure corporate finance transactions.

Negotiations: From teaching negotiating skills at prestigious universities, to “hands on” experience in negotiating hundreds of deals, we view this as a “core competency” in which we excel.

Government Relations: Many transactions in Central Europe have a Government “angle”— whether privatizations, Public Private Partnerships, obtaining Competition Office or regulatory approvals, Euro-Phoenix staff have had experience in negotiating with and advising Governments at the seniormost levels in dozens of countries.
