We have focused on the technology sector for over two decades and have a team of 25 sector-dedicated professionals across Europe.
 
Approximately two thirds of our deals are of a cross-border nature.  Most of these involve a North American counterparty which reflects the quality of access and execution afforded by the Close Brothers Network, particularly in the US.
 
We have completed transactions for major European corporates including Vodafone, LogicaCMG, Getronics, Groupe Bull and Thales as well as many privately owned and
private equity backed businesses.  Recent engagements in Europe include the sale of iTouch to For-Side; the sale of RedDot to Hummingbird; the public offer for Incat International by Tata Technologies; the sale of Alldata to T-Systems; and the acquisition of Systems Union Group by Extensity which represents one of Europe's largest ever software deals.
 
We are the leading adviser to the software and IT services in Western Europe, based on the number of deals we have completed in the past three years.  In the UK we are particularly well reputed for our public company work, advising on almost one in three public takeovers in the industry (nine of the last thirty).

We have particular expertise in the areas of software, systems integration and outsourcing, wireless infrastructure and services, telecoms and digital media.
