Solomon Partners was founded in 1989 by Peter J. Solomon and was the first private independent investment banking firm created to incorporate the ethos and culture of the traditional investment banks with the entrepreneurial spirit of a collective partnership. [21] For over three decades, Solomon Partners has served as a trusted advisor on a number of sector-defining transactions.

Clients represent leaders in their industries, ranging from multinational, large-capitalization corporations to smaller, fast-growth companies. The firm has grown to more than 160 people, drawing senior bankers from major Wall Street investment firms, has expanded into a number of new verticals and added offices in Chicago and Fort Lauderdale. [22]
In June 2016, PJ SOLOMON entered into an alliance with Natixis, the international corporate, investment, insurance and financial services arm of Groupe BPCE, France's second largest financial institution - selling a 51% stake in the firm. Today the remaining 49% of its ownership continues to be held by its existing partners. The Natixis investment was intended to create an enhanced global M&A advisory and financing platform, coupling Solomon's entrepreneurial spirit with a multi-faceted debt and equity financing vehicle that offers international reach across the Americas, EMEA and Asia.

Through the partnership, Solomon Partners continues to provide the experience of a boutique culture with an expanded global reach across Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and the Americas.
The firm celebrated another milestone in December 2017 when it launched a corporate rebranding, including the transition to a new logo and name, PJ SOLOMON.


In September 2021, the company transitioned to a new name, Solomon Partners, in recognition of its partnership ethos and transformation from a firm focused on a single industry to serving multiple sectors.

History

Solomon Partners was founded in 1989 by Peter J. Solomon and was the first private independent investment banking firm created to incorporate the ethos and culture of the traditional investment banks with the entrepreneurial spirit of a collective partnership. [21] For over three decades, Solomon Partners has served as a trusted advisor on a number of sector-defining transactions.

Clients represent leaders in their industries, ranging from multinational, large-capitalization corporations to smaller, fast-growth companies. The firm has grown to more than 160 people, drawing senior bankers from major Wall Street investment firms, has expanded into a number of new verticals and added offices in Chicago and Fort Lauderdale. [22]

In June 2016, Solomon Partners entered into an alliance with Natixis, a French financial services firm owned by Groupe BPCE, to create an enhanced global M&A advisory and financing platform. Through the partnership, Solomon Partners continues to provide the experience of a boutique culture with an expanded global reach across Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and the Americas.

In September 2021, the company transitioned to a new name, Solomon Partners, in recognition of its partnership ethos and transformation from a firm focused on a single industry to serving multiple sectors.

Peter J. Solomon is a former Vice Chairman of Lehman Brothers where he was co-chairman of investment banking. [23]

From 1978 to 1980, Mr. Solomon served as Deputy Mayor of Economic Policy and Development in New York City under Mayor Edward Koch, and in 1980, he served as Counselor to the United States Treasury in the Carter Administration. [24]
