Whether you are selling your family business, working in a private equity fund, carrying the responsibility for investor relations in a listed company, or raising money for a high-growth company, you know that clear and trustworthy communications is the key to raising capital, and investing capital in the best projects.

Corporate Communications has since day one assisted our clients with financial communications across sectors, in close cooperation with investment banks and the legal advisory community. Today, financial communications is one of our core focus areas.

Investor Relations

Building knowledge and credibility in the financial markets, while also establishing good relations with analysts and policy makers, is crucial to reducing capital costs for the company.
