C.W. Downer & Co. was founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1975 and has additional offices in Dublin, Frankfurt, Madrid, Mumbai, Oslo, Paris, Shanghai and Sydney. [1] The firm is named for company founder Charles W. Downer and operated as Downer & Company until a rebranding effort was completed in 2008.
In 2016 C.W. Downer & Co. merged with the Spanish firm N+1 Group. [2] [3] The combined company is now called Alantra.
Charles W. Downer founded C.W. Downer & Co. in 1975 to provide cross-border merger and acquisition advisory services with a primary focus on middle-market company ($20–500 million) transactions. In 1980, the firm opened its first international office in Paris. It later established offices in Sydney, Dublin, Frankfurt, Shanghai, Madrid, Oslo and Mumbai. [4]
In April 2008 the firm changed its name from Downer & Company to C.W. Downer & Co. The firm trademarked its tagline, “Because the middle-market is global,” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. [5]

In addition to M&A advisory, N+1 offers debt advisory, restructuring, and equity and debt capital market services. The combined entity employed 240 investment banking professionals across 14 offices in 13 countries. The company was renamed N+1 Downer. [8]
On September 26, 2016, N+1 Downer became Alantra.
