BGL’s Aerospace, Defense & Government Services (ADGS) investment banking team has decades of relevant experience and a network of long-standing relationships across a broad range of subsectors, including Aerospace Technology, Aviation Services & Distribution, Defense, Space, and Government Technology & Services.
Our emphasis is on providing investment banking advisory services to a diverse range of middle-market companies across core sectors of the ADGS industry. We have executed numerous transactions for private, public, and institutionally-backed companies, including mergers & acquisitions, valuations & opinions, and capital raises.
As an industry characterized by market resilience, mission-critical products, and continuous innovation, the ADGS sector is a dynamic marketplace with significant opportunities for value creation. Historically immune to macroeconomic global downturns, investors are flocking to the sector and are attracted to the strong demand signals emerging from the backdrop of growing geopolitical uncertainty, the increased commercialization of the space domain, and a post-COVID resurgence in aviation.
BGL’s ADGS team, led by professionals with deep transactional and operational experience in the industry, works directly with global investors and corporate leaders to help navigate the M&A and private capital markets and unlock value in their businesses. Our team has an extensive track record of advising a diverse range of companies across each ADGS sub-sector and domains.
