History

Robey, Apostolides and Warshaw were prominent dealmakers in the City of London prior to setting up the firm. [3] Robey was a former co-head of mergers and acquisitions at Morgan Stanley, Warshaw was a co-head of investment banking at UBS, while Apostolides was a managing director in Morgan Stanley's financial sponsors group. [4] [5] In 2020, former Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne joined the firm as the first new Partner since its founding. [6]

According to The Observer , banking experts have attributed Robey Warshaw's early success to the connections of its founders and its ability to remain discreet during negotiations owing to its small size, at fewer than 20 employees. [3] The Telegraph highlighted the firm's "personal approach" favoured by corporate executives. [7]

In July 2025, the company announced it had been acquired by Evercore for £146 million. [8] Evercore will pay the sum in two tranches, with the first in shares in the company and the second on the first anniversary of the deal completing. [8]
