Companies large and small, across every sector, trust HudsonWest with their most important equity-linked transactions
From inaugural convertible issuances to complex multi-party unwind situations, HudsonWest provides authoritative, independent advice across every category of equity-linked transaction.
Our objectivity is absolute. That means better strategy, better analysis and better execution on every transaction. HudsonWest does not have trading desk positions, does not lend capital, is not owned by a third party and serves a single client: the corporate issuer.
We leverage strong, long-standing relationships with the convertible investor base to help companies drive the best possible bargain. HudsonWest is uniquely positioned to wall-cross investors directly in both new issue and liability management transactions, ensuring the company's voice is well heard and its interests are protected throughout the entire process.
Equity-linked transactions carry material accounting and tax consequences that many advisors underestimate. HudsonWest has extensive experience with the accounting and tax impacts of convertible structures and can assist in drafting technical accounting memos and supporting any required tax integration analysis.
We bring creative ideas, not just execution. As no two balance sheets are alike, HudsonWest brings genuine intellectual curiosity to every mandate — constantly analyzing structures, markets, and counterparties to recognize and capture added value wherever possible.
HudsonWest is 100% employee owned. Every client — regardless of deal size — gets the benefit of our full team's decades of equity-linked experience, "white-glove" attention and the kind of unmatched dedication and flexibility that larger institutions simply cannot offer.
HudsonWest's principals bring together rare depth across origination, sales, trading, structuring, legal and accounting — a tight-knit combination no other advisory firm can match.
