DH Advisory joins Eight International network for global deals coverage

UAE-based DH Advisory has become a member of Eight International, an international network of consultancy firms dedicated to corporate advice, financial advisory and mergers & acquisitions.
Operating out of Dubai, DH Advisory is an M&A advisory firm that helps corporates, family businesses and financial sponsors with their buy-side and sell-side deal mandates. Its team has a combined track record of over 500 M&A transactions, with many of its members gaining previous experience at Big Four firms.
Commenting on the partnership, Declan Hayes, Founder and Managing Partner at DH Advisory, said: “As we continue to build our practice, we are delighted to join Eight International which will assist us to continue to support our Middle East clients, by providing access to a network of world class senior deal professionals and deal flow.”
As part of the affiliation, clients of Eight International that seek to close deals in the Middle East will be connected with DH Advisory. And vice versa, clients of DH Advisory aiming to pursue cross-border deals outside of the region will receive added support from other Eight International members firms.
Founded in 2016 by six like-minded consultancies including France-headquartered Eight Advisory, Eight International today has over 3,600 professionals in around 15 countries. Members firms specialise in areas such as strategy, mergers & acquisitions, restructuring, corporate advisory, and forensic & dispute litigation.
“We look forward to assisting clients to successfully achieve their Middle East ambitions and the significant growth opportunities that it presents,” noted Hayes.
Welcoming the Middle East business to the network, Pascal Raidron, President of Eight International, said: “We are delighted to welcome DH Advisory. Their exceptional expertise and proven track record greatly enhances our capabilities. Together, we will continue to strategically support businesses in the Middle East, drive growth and deliver value to our clients.”
The news comes hot on the heels of Eight International expanding into Oceania through the addition of McGrathNicol (350 staff), and around a year after the network’s largest member firm Eight Advisory closed an acquisition in France.
