One UK firm.
Fifty-three offices behind it.

Pandion Partners is an alliance of independent, owner-managed M&A firms founded in 2000. Every member is a local operator in its own market, not a franchise office. Alinea holds the UK seat.

That matters when a sale process crosses a border. A buyer list built from London alone misses the German mittelstand acquirer, the US strategic already buying in your sector, the Nordic group with a mandate to enter the UK. Our partners know those buyers personally, in their own language.

Offices in more than thirty countries.

Our partners speak to 35% of the world's population in their mother tongue, covering the economies that generate roughly three quarters of global output.

You deal with us.
We deal with the world.

One Alinea team runs your process end to end. The network works behind it, not in front of you.

Step one

Map the real buyer universe

We brief every relevant Pandion office on your business and ask one question: who in your market would want this, and why.

Step two

Approach in the local language

Overseas acquirers are approached by someone they already know, from their own market. Response rates are a different order.

Step three

Run one competitive process

Domestic and overseas bidders sit in the same process, on the same timetable, priced against each other.

Step four

Close across jurisdictions

Local counsel, tax and diligence practice, handled by people who work in that system every week. You stay with your Alinea team throughout.

International buyers aren’t buying a company, they are buying a market.

Every sector, covered by by our partnerships.

Between them, our member firms cover the full spread of the mid-market. Whatever you make or sell, there is a Pandion adviser who has sold one before.
