Clairfield’s 20th anniversary countdown: celebrating two decades of excellence
Over the next twenty weeks, we are highlighting the most significant aspects of our two-decade journey in corporate finance advisory.
Our story began in 2004 when the Clairfield partnership was established in France, the UK, Italy, Spain, and the US, based on the principles of independence, crossborder capability, and entrepreneurial advisory. The founding firms quickly expanded to include Germany, Australia, and Benelux, bringing expertise and a global perspective to the midmarket sector.
As Clairfield has grown by welcoming knowledgeable partners in key markets, we remain committed to preserving our core strengths: entrepreneurial spirit, local expertise, and strong bonds across the international team.
« Clairfield has emerged as an investment banking leader and continues to achieve our clients’ goals, as our staying power over 20 years has shown. We look forward to continuing our adventures, delivering value, and nurturing our human connections as partners with our teams, clients, and friends in the community for many years to come. »
Thierry Chetrit, Clairfield co-founder
« Turning 20 is one of many significant milestones in our journey. We look forward to celebrating with our clients and talented teams, who have played an invaluable role in making Clairfield what it is today. »
Alexander Klemm, Clairfield chair
As we move forward, we look back at the key milestones that have brought us to where we are today. With a track record of over 195 deals announced annually, Clairfield continues to serve family businesses, large corporations, and investors in their midmarket transactions. Our clients’ success is our success.
Let the countdown to Clairfield’s 20th anniversary celebration in September begin!
