History

BDA (formerly known as Business Development Asia) was founded by Euan Rellie and Charles Maynard in 1996. Andrew Huntley joined as its third partner in 1998. All three remain active partners, overseeing BDA's operations.[10][11]

In 2011, BDA formed a partnership with William Blair & Company.[12] William Blair and BDA's alliance was designed to create a global middle-market presence, with a combined 230 bankers in 16 offices across nine countries.

BDA itself employs 90 bankers, supplemented by senior advisors around the world. BDA advertises itself as the "leading independent pan-Asian M&A advisory firm."
