London, 16 April 2026 – Alantra has been named Corporate Finance House of the Year at the Real Deals Private Equity Awards 2026.
This recognition highlights Alantra’s strength as a leading advisor on European private equity transactions and reflects the firm’s ability to deliver senior-led, cross-border advice across sell-side, buy-side, equity, and debt processes. The award recognizes firms that have demonstrated strategic and technical excellence in helping clients navigate competitive situations, create value, and deliver successful outcomes across European deal activity.
The award is a strong testament to the momentum Alantra is building across its European private equity franchise. Over the past year, the firm has continued to strengthen its position as a trusted advisor on complex sponsor-driven transactions, combining strategic judgment with disciplined execution to help clients create value and deliver successful outcomes in competitive processes.
That momentum is rooted in the way Alantra’s platform operates. The firm combines deep local access in key markets with strong international reach through its offices in the US, Middle East and Latam, an integrated Financial Sponsors coverage and specialist sector expertise across technology, consumer, healthcare, industrials, real estate, business services, energy and infrastructure, and FIG. This model enables teams to share intelligence, connect clients with the right counterparties, and execute cross-border transactions with precision across exits, growth partnerships, capital raisings, carve-outs, and other complex situations.
Philipp Krohn, CEO of Investment Banking at Alantra, said: “We are proud to be recognized by Real Deals as Corporate Finance House of the Year. This award reflects the collective effort of our teams, the depth of our local relationships in each market, our global reach and the strength that comes from combining that access with deep sector and product specialization. It is this collaborative model that allows us to bring clients differentiated insight, connect them with the right counterparties, and deliver outstanding outcomes in complex and competitive situations. We are grateful to our clients for their trust and to our colleagues for the teamwork and commitment that made this recognition possible.”
The award follows a year of strong momentum for Alantra’s Investment Banking platform, which completed more than 184 transactions in 2025, with an aggregate value of approximately €32bn across sell-side and buy-side M&A, debt advisory, credit solutions, capital markets, and strategic advisory. With 41% cross-border activity and continued investment in senior talent, Alantra further strengthened the breadth of its capabilities and the relevance of its advice across sectors, products, and geographies.
