1980's
In the mid-1980's, the group successfully extended its Australian operations into IT & Human Resources consulting, winning major consulting and supply assignments from the Australian Government, leading technology companies, and major banks.
1990's
In the late 1990’s the first McNeill office opened in Asia, advising on industrial, technology, and infrastructure projects. Completed advisory assignments include oil refining, publishing, logistics, and real estate, as well as energy and infrastructure developments.
Several joint ventures were established in China, including with China Development Institute, a leading government consulting group, with 200 professionals engaged in M&A activities throughout China.
2000's
At the start of this century, McNeill expanded into management of capital, helping establish the first Chinese municipal equity fund listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, several Cayman Islands private equity funds, and a public equity vehicle based in Cyprus.
Major new clients included The Rockefeller Group, one of the world’s most prestigious real estate developers, AIG, one of the world’s 100 largest companies, and ABN AMRO Bank, a financial institution with 250 years history. McNeill continued to focus on advising clients on major industrial and infrastructure transactions, with an emphasis in Asia.
2020's
As emerging markets in Asia become more sophisticated and access to capital deepens, McNeill has again strengthened its network, by association with independent industry and financial experts in Europe, Australia, and the America’s, and creating additional resources for our clients. Transactions which were mostly flowing into Asia, now flow in both directions. To facilitate the growing number of Asian investors seeking access to opportunities in Western markets, McNeill now has partners with language skills in French, Spanish, German, Cantonese, Mandarin, Tagalog, Bahasa Indonesia, and Hindi. In addition to providing access to institutional funding and strategic partners, McNeill has assisted indirect investors through establishment of several private investment vehicles in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the USA.
