Bowsprit Partners and Oliverio & Partners sign five-year cross-border partnership to target mid-market energy and digital infrastructure deals across Europe

London-based corporate advisory and fundraising firm Bowsprit Partners has signed a five-year strategic partnership with Italy-based Oliverio & Partners, combining deal origination, transaction support, and capital-raising capabilities across the European mid-market. The collaboration focuses on the energy and digital infrastructure sectors, spanning renewables and storage, electricity grids, energy services, data centres, fibre networks, and digital connectivity. Both firms serve mid-market businesses and investors across the full deal lifecycle, from origination through to closing. The stated rationale is to deepen cross-border deal capacity as European energy and digital transactions increasingly require coordinated access to institutional capital on both sides of a trade. Luis Brime, head of operations at Bowsprit Partners, described the arrangement as combining investor reach with disciplined origination and execution to support high-quality European transactions. Vincenzo Oliverio, global head of M&A and capital markets at Oliverio & Partners, framed it as connecting pipeline to institutional capital while maintaining governance and conflict-management standards. Alongside M&A advisory, Bowsprit also provides corporate advisory, fundraising, equity research, and securitisation services to its client base. No deal value or financial terms were disclosed for the partnership arrangement itself. No external law firm advisers were named in connection with the partnership. The deal reflects a broader pattern of European advisory boutiques building cross-border alliances to compete for energy transition and digital infrastructure mandates as the volume and complexity of European mid-market deals in these sectors grows.
