Our Firm

Global Presence

Centred on Zürich, Nocturnal is focused on European middle markets and cross-border situations where local judgement and disciplined execution are important.

Zürich as a European base.

Zürich provides a stable centre from which to evaluate transactions across the DACH region and selected adjacent European markets. It combines proximity to owners, advisers, corporate decision-makers and specialist talent with the discretion appropriate to complex situations.

Our geographic language is deliberately precise: an office is described as an office; a professional relationship is described as a relationship; transaction reach is not presented as a network of physical locations.

European focus. Global awareness.

Potential transactions are assessed in the context of their actual customers, supply chains, financing environment, labour markets and strategic alternatives. Cross-border work may involve local advisers and specialists where jurisdictional or sector knowledge is required.


Markets of particular interest

  • Switzerland, Germany and Austria
  • Selected Benelux situations
  • Selected Nordic opportunities
  • United Kingdom situations where the transaction rationale and legal perimeter are appropriate
