Semiconductor

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL INVESTMENT BANK IN THE MID-MARKET SEMICONDUCTOR SECTOR.

How can we say that? It’s all about the successes our clients experience, the relationships we’ve nurtured and the insight we bring.

No one can beat our reputation across the industry and our record of cross-border M&A transactions for clients in Europe and the US. We’ve sold businesses to most of the world’s largest semiconductor companies through trade exits. We also work extensively with venture capital and private equity fundraising, across a range of markets including wireless, automotive, consumer and telecommunications.

Our Semiconductor team is led by Matthew Byatt, who started out as an IC designer before learning the inner workings of M&A with McKinsey & Co and ARM. The team has more than 25 years’ experience in the industry, cultivating deep-rooted relationships with many of the industry’s leading senior executives. It’s these relationships, combined with a living, breathing immersion in the technology, that bring about the successes and celebrations our clients deserve.

You need a thorough and objective perspective on the market. Whether you are a fabless ASSP or ASIC provider, offer consulting services or EDA tools, licence IP or manufacture semiconductor capital equipment, we have the information and insight you can’t do without.
