History

Charles W. Downer founded C.W. Downer & Co. in 1975 to provide cross-border merger and acquisition advisory services with a primary focus on middle-market company ($20–500 million) transactions. In 1980, the firm opened its first international office in Paris. It later established offices in Sydney, Dublin, Frankfurt, Shanghai, Madrid, Oslo and Mumbai.[4]

In April 2008 the firm changed its name from Downer & Company to C.W. Downer & Co. The firm trademarked its tagline, “Because the middle-market is global,” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.[5]

Charles W. Downer was awarded the Association for Corporate Growth's 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award.[6]

On April 27, 2016, C.W. Downer & Co. completed its previously announced merger[7] with N+1, a global investment bank and asset management firm headquartered in Madrid, Spain. In addition to M&A advisory, N+1 offers debt advisory, restructuring, and equity and debt capital market services. The combined entity employed 240 investment banking professionals across 14 offices in 13 countries. The company was renamed N+1 Downer.[8]

On September 26, 2016, N+1 Downer became Alantra.[8] With this decision, the partners of the 19 countries and different businesses did away with brands that existed from 15 to 40 years, including N+1, Downer, Swiss Capital, Daruma, and Dinamia. Alantra's 57 partners and 345 professionals operate from 25 global offices.[9]
