Business Development Asia LLC (\u201cBDA\u201d) today announced that the company will, going forward, be known as BDA Partners. BDA Partners is the leading independent, pan-Asian investment banking firm.<\/p>\n

BDA Partners will continue to be led by the same management team who set up the firm in 1996. The evolution of the name is intended to reflect better the management structure of the firm, and particularly that the core ownership and leadership comprise a long-standing, collegial core of professionals. BDA is focused on executing cross-border M&A transactions for sophisticated private equity funds and corporations. BDA will continue to work closely with global investment bank William Blair, its partner and minority shareholder.<\/p>\n

Euan Rellie, co-founder and Senior Managing Director said, \u201cWe\u2019ve been in business for 18 years, and our clients and colleagues typically refer to us as \u2018BDA\u2019. We\u2019ve enjoyed outstanding management stability: the senior team has an average tenure of more than 10 years with the firm. We\u2019ve achieved \u00a0significant growth in recent years, and are excited about the next stage of growth as BDA Partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles Maynard, co-founder and Senior Managing Director commented, \u201cBDA will continue to focus on cross-border M&A involving Asia. We\u2019re grateful to our clients, who continue to re-hire us on increasingly ambitious,\u00a0bigger and strategically important transactions. We\u2019re resolutely committed to providing excellent, focused, impactful advice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew Huntley, Senior Managing Director added, \u201cBDA has emerged as a leader. We\u2019ve carefully built and trained a pre-eminent team, from the Managing Directors down to our junior and admin staff. We\u2019ve also established a unique global footprint of offices. We believe that the macro-economic environment, and the increasing importance of Asia, will help us do more for our clients, and in turn to increase the fees and profitability we generate.\u201d<\/p>\n

BDA recorded record revenues in 2014 and is well-placed, with a strong book of business, for further growth in 2015. BDA advised on 18 transactions which were announced and\/or closed in 2014, mostly representing sellers of businesses. Notable transactions included:<\/p>\n
