Client stories
Work our clients let us talk about.
We advised Banpu on a group restructuring and amalgamation designed to simplify the corporate structure, improve capital allocation and governance, and create a more flexible platform for future growth.
“The firm has helped us to think about our strategy in terms of shareholder value and has worked with us to improve our investor relations program… Since 2000, Banpu has been able to achieve strong and sustainable share price growth.”
Our Abu Dhabi team works on both ends of the capital flowing between Asia and the Gulf. A published client story from the region will appear here.
ADB's borrowers needed a way to evaluate and procure digital twin technology for infrastructure, where pilots rarely scaled beyond a single asset. We advised on the staged roadmap the bank published as practical guidance — now its reference point for building digital twins into investment due diligence.
