Track record of advising listed companies

Over the past 20+ years, the partners of FIH Partners have advised listed companies in all types of transactions: from IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, to spin-offs and defence situations, and ultimately full divestments and de-listings. We share history with many of our clients whom we have advised on multiple transactions.
