CASE CASSIOPEA accelerates to build a Pan-European Debt Advisory Team
- Dedicated senior Debt Advisory team across Milan and Paris, further strengthening CASE CASSIOPEA’s European investment banking platform.
- Gian Matteo Bruni and Jérémy Fournier lead the franchise, combining structuring depth with direct connectivity to banks, private credit funds and institutional investors.
- Independent, senior-led advice across the full capital structure.
CASE CASSIOPEA is pleased to announce the expansion of its dedicated Debt Advisory team in France with the hiring of Jérémy Fournier, following the appointment of Gian Matteo Bruni in Milan earlier in 2025.
Credit markets have become increasingly fragmented, with liquidity distributed across banks, private credit funds, and institutional investors. In this environment, financing outcomes depend not only on access to capital but also on a clear structuring logic and disciplined execution.
CASE CASSIOPEA’s Debt Advisory franchise provides independent, product-agnostic advice, combining upfront structuring and financial engineering, connectivity across liquidity providers, and hands-on process leadership through to closing.
The practice is led by Gian Matteo Bruni in Milan and Jérémy Fournier in Paris, supported by Guillaume Jeantet (Senior Advisor, Paris) and the wider CASE CASSIOPEA teams. Together, they bring decades of financing experience across leading European financial institutions, with an in-depth understanding of lenders’ underwriting frameworks and decision-making processes, supporting efficient market engagement and executable outcomes.
CASE CASSIOPEA advises on acquisition and event-driven financing, refinancing and capital structure optimisation, leveraged finance, Loans and Debt Capital Markets, asset-based and contracted cash-flow financing, as well as special situations.
Recently, CASE CASSIOPEA has successfully advised both private equity and their portfolio companies and corporate clients on several landmark financing projects.
A pan-European Debt Advisory platform marks a natural extension of CASE CASSIOPEA’s M&A advisory presence across Frankfurt, Milan, Paris, and Stockholm (through PK Partners), complemented by exclusive international partnerships such as ABN AMRO in the Benelux and MAP in Latin America.
“Consolidating our Debt Advisory franchise strengthens CASE CASSIOPEA’s platform at a time when financing has become more complex and more central to transaction execution. Our approach mirrors that of our M&A Advisory business: senior-led, independent and focused on delivering robust solutions with certainty of execution”
— The Founding Partners, CASE CASSIOPEA
“Building on the platform developed in Italy, this enhanced set-up allows us to support clients seamlessly across Europe, engaging lenders efficiently and delivering well-structured, bankable transactions.”
— Gian Matteo Bruni, Partner, CASE CASSIOPEA
“Debt Advisory requires a combination of structuring expertise and execution discipline: understanding clients’ needs and achievable outcomes, running a controlled process, and managing stakeholders through to closing. This is the foundation on which we have built the franchise.”
