Blackwood Capital Group

Founded in 2002 by Ronny Grosman and Thomas Kardos, Blackwood Capital Group is an independent, FCA-registered corporate finance and M&A advisory firm. It operates from London and Frankfurt rather than investing its own capital in portfolio companies.

Blackwood advises on buy-side and sell-side M&A, equity and debt private placements, capital structure and restructuring, takeover defence, valuations and fairness opinions. Its strongest sector focus is tech-enabled business services, particularly human capital services such as staffing, recruitment, executive search, HR technology and outsourced services.

The firm’s distinctive experience is cross-border execution across Europe, the Americas and Asia, with managing-partner involvement throughout transactions. Its careers page advertises six-month off-cycle internships and selective Analyst, Associate and VP hiring in London and Frankfurt.
