Growth from 50 staff in 2018 to nearly 300 in 2025, including 11 Partners
A strategic investment from ICG to support ATOZ Services’ development of new service lines and expansion into new geographies through a combination of organic growth and M&A

ATOZ Services United Kingdom (formerly Seles Limited)
The opening of ATOZ Services France in 2025
Jean-Michel Chamonard comments, “My appointment as Managing Partner of ATOZ Services in 2018 was a true highlight of my professional career, and I am proud of the team we have built together over the past seven years. Staying close to the firm as a senior advisor, I look forward to continuing to support the firm as it grows under the new leadership and expertise of Chafai.”
Chafai Baihat, a professional in his field since 2006, adds, “As we continue to execute our strategy of becoming the partner of choice – particularly for the alternative fund sector – I am honoured to take on this new challenge and build on strong foundations. I look forward to leading the next phase of the ATOZ Services’ journey alongside our talented teams.”
