Weinberg praised Robey Warshaw’s “extraordinary, long-standing relationships”, forged by its five partners – led by Simon Robey and Simon Warshaw. </p><p>Its founder Roger Altman was particularly full of praise for Robey, saying “I don’t think I’ve ever worked with a more talented, more able banker”. </p><p>The firm was set up in 2013 with a third Simon – Sir Simon Robertson, the former president of Goldman Sachs Europe – who exited amicably a year later and Robertson Robey rebranded to Robey Warshaw. </p><p>Partners have cultivated strong relationships, advising major deals from Comcast’s takeover of Sky to London Stock Exchange Group’s acquisition of data provider Refinitiv. </p><p>The firm rose to national prominence after hiring former Chancellor George Osborne – fresh from a stint editing the London Evening Standard – as its first non-founding partner in 2021. </p><h2 id="h-succession-questions-settled-nbsp">Succession questions settled </h2><p>Famously lean, Robey Warshaw has risen to be one of the most high profile firms in the City and punched well above its weight in terms of deals done. </p><p>Surfing the wave of an industry-wide pivot in favour of boutique advisory firms in the wake of post-2008 lending regulations, the firm has won M&amp;A deals that otherwise would likely have gone to global investment banks. </p><p>Simon Robey, known in the Square Mile as the “trillion-dollar man”, took home a massive £40.5m pay packet in the 2023/24 financial year, according to Companies House. The other partners split a still-hefty £30m pay pot. </p><p>But its tight management structure – three of the five partners were among the original co-founders – meant that a future beyond the original Simons looked murky. </p><p>George Osborne has made a substantial chunk of money from his involvement in the company, but maintains a high public profile as a commentator and hosts multiple podcasts a week with his former Labour opposite number Ed Balls. </p><h2 id="h-what-s-in-it-for-evercore-nbsp">What’s in it for Evercore? </h2><p>Through this deal, Evercore gets access to key relationships and contacts in a booming time for M&amp;A volumes in the UK. </p><p>Earlier in July, <em>City AM</em> reported that UK equities are considered “cheap and undervalued”, with public M&amp;A activity almost tripling in the first half of 2024. </p><p>June 2024 alone saw 12 deals – with three in one 24 hour period, including major UK names Alphawave and Oxford Ionics.</p><p>No word yet on whether the firm is planning to launch a podcast.</p> </div>

<p>Evercore 以 1.46 億英鎊收購了精品銀行 Robey Warshaw，為這家總部位於紐約的顧問公司在英國建立了業務。Evercore 的首席執行官 John S. Weinberg 強調了 Robey Warshaw 由包括 Simon Robey 和 Simon Warshaw 在內的五位合夥人培養的強大關係。該公司在聘請前財政大臣 George Osborne 作為合夥人後聲名鵲起。這次收購為 Evercore 提供了寶貴的聯繫，正值英國併購活動激增，公共交易在 2024 年初幾乎增長了三倍</p>
