Chatsworth Securities LLC will be establishing a representative office in Paris, France, to strengthen its global reach and to facilitate cross-border investment banking transactions between the United States and the European Union. Having successfully built a cross-border M&A business between Europe and the US, the firm decided that it was more efficient to have an office in Paris. France and greater Europe have a lot to offer American-based companies and investors. There are great opportunities for acquisitions and US companies can benefit from many advantages offered in France, such as innovation and research tax credits, government grants through subsidized loans, and a well-educated labor pool. European companies are well structured with many of the more interesting tech start-ups showing profits on their books. With a presence in France, Chatsworth is better able to serve European companies that are seeking opportunities to access capital and make acquisitions in the USA. The Paris office further strengthens Chatsworth's cross-border advisory capabilities, building on the firm's track record of facilitating transactions between U.S. and European markets. Marcus Magarian, Managing Director and Head of European Operations, will lead the Paris presence, leveraging his background as an alumnus of HEC Paris and his deep network across the European financial and technology ecosystem.
