Evercore announced that it is expanding its investment banking offering in London through the formation of a new dedicated European equity capital markets advisory capability.  The ECM Advisory team will be led by Jim Renwick who will join the Firm in February as a Senior Managing Director in its London office.  The team will work with Evercore's industry sector and M&A advisory teams to provide independent strategic and
transactional advice to existing and new clients in Europe on the full range of equity advisory assignments, including IPOs, follow-on and equity-linked offerings, rights issues and equity private placements.  They will collaborate closely with Evercore's US Capital Markets Advisory team in relation to cross-border situations. Mr. Renwick was most recently Chairman of Corporate Broking and UK ECM at Barclays.
