Was unterscheidet eine M&A-Boutique von einer Investmentbank oder einer Big-Four-Gesellschaft?

Eine M&A-Boutique wie LSJ Advisory konzentriert sich auf Transaktionsberatung (M&A Advisory) und arbeitet mit kleinen, festen Teams und erfahrenen Beratern, die die Mandate führen. Für unsere Mandanten bedeutet das direkte Ansprechpartner, kurze Abstimmungswege und eine Transaktionsstrategie, die auf ihre individuellen Ziele zugeschnitten ist.

Personally led. Entrepreneurially minded.

LSJ Advisory is an independent M&A and Corporate Finance boutique for entrepreneurs, mid-sized companies and financial investors. We support our clients with divestments, acquisitions, succession planning and Corporate Finance.

Why LSJ?

LSJ Advisory was founded on the conviction that excellent M&A advice does not need a large apparatus. It needs experienced advisors, a deep understanding of the market and the freedom to develop the right solution for every client. Flexible, personal, independent. Thinking and acting like entrepreneurs. For clients who want more.

The quality of advice determines the success of a corporate transaction. That is why our experienced team takes personal responsibility in supporting you on acquisitions and divestments as well as on spin-offs and carve-outs. Together, we develop a tailor-made strategy and guide you through the entire transaction process, from the first idea to a successful closing.

What drives us

For mid-sized companies in particular, a transaction is rarely just a financial decision. Behind the figures are people, life's work and plans for the future. We don't just understand that – it is how we advise.

We know the challenges mid-sized companies face and understand how much entrepreneurial decisions shape a company's future. Every transaction brings its own opportunities, challenges and perspectives. That is exactly what motivates us to take responsibility, explore new approaches and develop sustainable solutions together with our clients.

We love what we do: M&A advisory and Corporate Finance. Our promise, “Transactions. Tailor-made.”, stands for advice that is guided not by rigid standards but by our clients' individual goals and the people behind every transaction.
