Gibraltar Hosts the First Advisiom Deal Summit

There is a particular kind of professional who does not wait for opportunity to come to them. That is precisely who will be in the room in Gibraltar this May.

From the 27th to the 29th of May 2026, twelve founding member firms of Advisiom Global M&A were invited to gather aboard the Sunborn Yacht Hotel for the First Annual Advisiom Deal Summit, arriving from Australia, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and India. Different markets, different sectors, one shared understanding of what serious cross-border dealmaking requires.

Why Gibraltar

The choice of location is deliberate. At the point where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, Gibraltar has spent centuries at the intersection of trade routes, strategic ambition, and international commerce. It carries a mature financial services infrastructure, a common law legal framework, and a regulatory environment long favoured by international business. For a network built on the premise that relationships close deals, the setting matters.

What the Summit Is For

Advisiom Global M&A was founded to close the gap between exceptional local expertise and the global reach needed to execute cross-border transactions at the pace modern deals demand. The Summit is where that proposition becomes operational.

Amanda Simmons, Founder and CEO, sets a clear bar: “I want our founding members to leave Gibraltar with live deal opportunities, not just goodwill. Two days of structured introductions, vertical roundtables, and frank conversations about live mandates should translate into real cross-border traffic by Q3. The Summit is where Advisiom stops being a promise and starts being a working network.”

That sentiment is shared by those making the trip. Clive Hatchard, President of the Advisiom Advisory Board and Head of Advisory at Debrett’s, will be among those in attendance: “The inaugural Advisiom Deal Summit brings together advisory leaders from across the network to share insight, challenge thinking and strengthen collaboration. The real value flows through to clients and key partners, who benefit from more connected advice, deeper sector understanding and stronger execution across the network and supporting stronger long-term client outcomes across markets.”

What Comes Next

The agenda is structured for depth: introductions designed to generate mandates, roundtables organised by sector and geography, and conversations about live deal flow that only happen when the right people are in the same room.

For boutique M&A advisers operating across borders, the question has rarely been capability. It has been reach. That changes in Gibraltar.
