Client Testimonial
“RA Capital Advisors is a trusted advisor to Seaspan and we relied on them in every phase of our IPO process for advice and counsel. They were instrumental in navigating us through the IPO process, from selecting the appropriate underwriting group and negotiating with Wall Street, to developing the transaction structure and driving the overall execution of the transaction. The transaction resulted in the largest shipping IPO in NYSE history and ultimately in extraordinary value creation. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the deal and the distinct value RA added throughout the process.”
