A Connected Firm Across 45 Offices

With 45 offices working under our unique one-firm model, clients benefit from consistent standards, shared knowledge, seamless execution and continuity of relationships across every market.

This creates trusted partnerships where clients experience the same professionalism and rigour, wherever their deal takes them.

We are recognised for our company search expertise, with a unique track record of identifying and sourcing the right target for buy side clients. This approach means clients gain access to opportunities that competitors often overlook or that are simply not for sale.

How We Work With Clients

Our difference is how we work. Every mandate is led by senior partners who bring strategic and operational experience alongside financial advisory expertise. Many have run businesses themselves, so they understand the pressures and decisions you face. This entrepreneurial mindset, combined with a client-first culture, ensures you work directly with people who take personal accountability for delivering your deal. They bring international reach together with local business knowledge to identify the perfect opportunities and make deals happen.

When a client engages CDI Global, they gain direct access to decision-makers with a track record of closing cross-border deals in their sector. The partners you meet stay directly involved at every stage of your deal. This hands-on approach is why CDI Global has built a track record of securing perfect-fit opportunities and closing complex cross-border transactions that create lasting value for clients.
