The Private Equity Awards are the oldest, most respected accolades bestowed on the industry and its advisers. Our Private Equity Awards ceremony recognises Europe's very best private equity transactions and most successful firms, and we are now pleased to announce the shortlists for the Advisory and Specialist award categories. 

Congratulations to all! It now falls to a select group of outstanding PE professionals who will decide the winners when they convene for the judging panel in March.
