We are proud to announce that Nielen Schuman is expanding its European presence with the opening of a new office in Frankfurt, Germany.
This strategic step marks the launch of a dedicated Debt Advisory team focused on the DACH region, strengthening our ability to support clients across borders with tailored capital solutions to realise their strategic objectives. Following a strategic assessment, we decided that DACH is the ideal market for our next step in Europe, due to its large and growing private equity community and broad financing landscape in which we can add value for our clients.
