We started with three partners and an office above a wine merchant on Fleet Street. Sixteen years later the firm is forty-two partners across four cities — and the same belief that real advisory work happens in a room, not a slide.
We've turned away mandates rather than break them. They're the reason a number of clients are now on their fourth or fifth engagement.
Not just at the kick-off and the close. If a partner can't be there, we'll move the meeting.
Most engagements run with two partners and a director. No analyst pyramid behind the curtain.
We don't publish client names without explicit, current sign-off — even on completed mandates.
We are not paid by transaction execution. Our advice carries no kicker.
We turn down roughly half of inbound mandates each year. Usually because we don't think we're the right firm for them.
Forty-two partners across four offices. Below: the four who set the firm up and still chair every internal committee that matters.
