This strategic move further strengthens our global presence and aims at supporting both Eight Advisory’s European clients in their international development and US companies looking to invest in Europe, by offering them our unique brand of world-class, entrepreneurial and pragmatic advice.

The US team will include Edouard Decamp, Partner, Louis Legros, Director, and Archer Tawney, Manager, experienced transaction services professionals from Eight Advisory’s Paris and London offices as well as local hires. They will be joined by a team of managers, seniors and analysts with an objective of a twenty strong team during the course of 2024. The team will be supported by Justin Welstead, Partner and Member of the Eight Advisory executive committee, who has considerable experience in supporting European Groups in transactions in North America.

Justin Welstead, Member of the 8A executive committee, expressed enthusiasm about the expansion, stating:

« After our start in France and success in opening offices in the UK, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands, New York is an important milestone for Eight Advisory. We have historically worked on a significant number of projects for European clients in the region and now we’ll have a locally based expertise to strengthen our offer”.

Eric Demuyt, Managing Director & Partner at Eight Advisory commented on the news:

” In 13 years, we have built a multi-disciplinary and international team of 98 partners and 830 employees in total. Our clients include listed groups, private equity funds and their portfolio companies, and family offices that have an international presence and ambition. With this step, we further strengthen our ability to accompany them in growing their businesses around the world”.
