Evercore to Acquire Robey Warshaw in $196m Strategic Move
Evercore has agreed to purchase UK-based advisory firm Robey Warshaw for £146 million ($196 million), marking a significant expansion of its European footprint. The deal, structured with staggered payments in stock and cash, includes performance-based earnouts tied to multi-year targets.
The acquisition positions Evercore to dominate Europe's largest M&A market, adding 400 bankers across nine countries. Robey Warshaw's elite client roster and sterling reputation in cross-border deals will immediately enhance Evercore's EMEA capabilities. Transaction close is anticipated in Q4 2025.
This strategic play underscores the intensifying competition for top-tier advisory talent. The all-stock initial payment reflects Evercore's confidence in shared growth prospects, with EPS accretion expected within the first year.
