Investment Banks and Broker Dealers
Not immune to the effects of the global credit
crisis, investment banks and broker dealers are facing conditions
that have repeatedly parched deal flow in nearly every aspect of
their businesses, quarter upon quarter. Jump-starting deal flow and
maintaining profitability are of the utmost importance at a time
when larger banks are also vying for the rare few deals which show
the promising signs of coming to market.
Investment banks and broker dealers are also
caught in an unfolding web of new regulatory requirements which, at
a time when efficiencies must be honed and profits must be
realized, run the risk of dampening deal flow and stalling
progress. As a result, they’re being forced to seek business
opportunities in new sectors and geographies in an effort to
replace traditional sources of income hit by the downturn.
SNR Denton understands the cards that investment banks and
broker dealers have been dealt. With expertise in eight unique
sectors and a wide range of geographies, we help investment banks
and broker dealers navigate this complex landscape and get deals
done.
