Where our expertise was forged
The founders
Corporate finance expertise, delivered by its founders
L&W is an independent firm founded by two corporate finance professionals who developed their expertise within leading advisory firms across valuation, financial modelling and mergers & acquisitions.
We created L&W with a clear ambition: to deliver partner-led corporate finance advisory, combining deep expertise with the efficiency gains enabled by technology.
While technology enhances our productivity and analytical capabilities, professional judgement remains at the heart of everything we do. Every valuation, financial model and deliverable is personally reviewed by the founders before it reaches a client.
