Eight Advisory has a robust entrepreneurial spirt and a client focused culture, with very experienced and dedicated teams. The cooperation and proximity between the international teams and those based in France, Germany and the UK in particular, allow it to carry out large-scale transactions with a high degree of fluidity.”
