Jeff Acton speaks to Worldfolio on how BDA became a leading cross-border M&A advisor to Private Equity in Japan
Jeff Acton, Partner and Head of BDA’s Tokyo office, was recently interviewed by Worldfolio on how BDA Partners has established itself as a leading cross-border M&A advisor to private equity clients in Japan.
In the interview, Jeff discusses the firm’s long-standing presence in Japan, its track record advising on complex international transactions, and the role BDA plays in bridging Japanese sellers with global buyers. He also highlights the growing activity and opportunities within Japan’s private equity market, as well as the cultural and strategic nuances that define successful cross-border deals.
“We have been in Japan for a long time. We understand the domestic environment, the expectations and the needs of local clients. At the same time, we’re a global firm – so we can translate those needs into an international context and connect Japanese sellers with the right global buyers,” Jeff explains.
With 30 years of experience globally, BDA continues to deliver trusted, independent advice to clients navigating Japan-related cross-border M&A.
