JLL announced today it has agreed to acquire Javelin Capital, a North America-based investment banking firm specializing in renewable energy. The move significantly expands JLL’s capabilities within the U.S. Energy & Infrastructure Capital Markets, complementing the firm’s robust presence in Europe and Asia, where it has completed over 150 deals totaling more than $20 billion.

The transaction, pending regulatory approvals, strategically positions JLL as a globally connected advisor, able to serve major infrastructure investors and emerging market entrants.

Richard Bloxam, CEO, Capital Markets at JLL, stated:

“Welcoming Javelin Capital to the JLL team expands our ability to guide clients with end-to-end support through the clean energy transition, bolstering our team in the U.S. to match our leading work in the space across Asia and Europe.
