NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evercore (NYSE: EVR) announced today that it has entered into a strategic alliance with Seneca Evercore, an independent strategic advisory firm based in São Paulo, Brazil. The partnership allows the two firms to leverage their combined capabilities and knowledge, expanding Evercore’s global network and broadening Seneca Evercore’s set of solutions for clients.
Daniel Wainstein and Rodrigo Mello, together with other partners, recently acquired the Greenhill Brazil platform, renaming it Seneca Evercore. Daniel and Rodrigo have worked together for the last 20 years, initially at Goldman Sachs and most recently at Greenhill where they were Co-Heads of Greenhill Brazil.

Ralph Schlosstein, Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Evercore, said, “Brazil is a fast growing and important market for our global clients and our firm. We are excited about this alliance and we believe that we have found the right partner in Seneca Evercore, led by two of the most experienced Advisory bankers in Brazil. With our breadth and depth of industry coverage and capabilities, combined with Seneca Evercore’s local knowledge and relationships, we believe that together we have created a unique opportunity to best serve our respective clients.”
Mr. Wainstein commented, “As Brazil enters a phase of significant investment from abroad and rising demand for restructuring solutions, we see this as the ideal time to form a partnership with Evercore and bring the benefits of Evercore’s leading global independent advisory platform to our clients. We plan to utilize Evercore’s broad capabilities and footprint and, in turn, we will share our own regional expertise and network of relationships.”
“We are excited about the possibilities for Seneca Evercore and believe that, with this alliance, we will be able to provide our clients with a wider range of solutions to their strategic decisions, while upholding our shared commitment to providing high quality, differentiated, and independent advice.” concluded Mr. Mello.
