European Middle Market Investment Banks

Europe is home to many investment banks servicing the middle market. Europe is home to the world’s Big 4 accounting firms (Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG, PwC). Though known by their accounting and audit expertise, the Big 4 also provide M&A services to the middle market. Their transaction advisory teams compete directly with pure play M&A advisory firms and sometimes even with the larger bulge brackets.  Their M&A franchises are especially strong in Europe.
