The Drawdown Awards: Service Providers, Advisory and Technology

 The Drawdown Awards 2025 are for advisers and solution providers supporting European private fund operations. For 2025 we are pleased to present a refreshed list of categories, recognising excellence in technology, legal services, marketing and communications and other advisory fields.

The rigorous judging process, based on the views of a panel of leading private capital fund COOs, CFOs, CCOs, GCs and CTOs, ensures these awards stand out from the crowd as ‘ones to win’ and we hope they act as a catalyst to drive up service standards and operations across the sector.

The awards will be presented at a prestigious ceremony on 12 June 2025 at London’s Marriott Grosvenor Square hotel.
