BDO Corporate Finance Adds Office in Dubai
BDO Corporate Finance is based in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), is authorised and regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) and is headed up by Jon Breach, Corporate Finance Partner, who has relocated from the London corporate finance team of BDO, together with a team of specialists.
Jon Breach, Lead Partner of BDO Corporate Finance (Middle East) LLP, said: "Over the last few years, we have witnessed the rising influence of Middle Eastern investors in the global corporate finance arena. By having a team of corporate finance and restructuring experts based in the region we are bringing additional specialist advisory services to the strong relationships established by the local BDO member firms. This will result in our clients being able to access a broader range of services which is why we have opened the dedicated regional office. This market will continue to grow in importance as an international source of capital and the opportunity for us is very exciting. I look forward to working alongside the local BDO member firms in this dynamic region."
Jawad Habib Jawad, Head of Middle East Region at BDO, said "The Middle East is strategically important to BDO at an international level. Our strong member firms in the region will benefit from specialist corporate finance and restructuring advisory knowledge, skills and expertise on the ground. Our experience shows that Middle East investors prefer to work with local experts and this is what we will provide through this new venture. Jon brings with him a wealth of experience and he and his team will be able to draw on our regional and international BDO member firms for support where necessary."
