About
Advisory for companies facing transactions that change both ownership and financing
Maier & Martinez is an independent firm working with executives and shareholders of SMEs and mid-sized companies when the stakes are high and the options are intertwined. It is not a broad corporate finance platform, but a focused advisor for mandates where debt, capital, control, and timing have to be handled as one conversation.
Based in Paris, the firm brings an international outlook and a founder-minded approach to situations that rarely fit a standard process. Its work is tailored rather than product-led, with close attention to structure, negotiation, and the practical realities around complex decisions. Maier & Martinez reads as a compact investment banking practice built for decisive stretches in a company’s life, especially when an off-the-shelf financing answer or a conventional transaction process is unlikely to be enough.
