LB Capital companies provide cutting edge strategic advisory service on merger and acquisition (“M&A”) and acquisition and divestiture (“A&D”) transactions. We serve corporate clients and governments, as well as a range of institutional and private investors, including sovereign wealth funds in Energy and Natural Resources Sectors.
We were founded on the belief that a private and independent advisory firm that offers pure advice, untainted by the conflicts inherent in multi-product investment banks offers superior value to our sophisticated and results-oriented Sector clients. With no lending or trading conflicts, LB Capital’s fundamental focus, and our cutting edge, is in valuing our long-term client relationships by delivering high-impact advisory services based on specialist experience, uncompromising integrity and continuity of personnel. Based on long-standing relationships with senior executives in the Sector, and free of the conflicts that can restrict bulge-bracket advice, we believe in truly independent advice in the boardroom. Therefore, since our inception, as reflected in the calibre of the individuals we employ and the mandates we undertake, we have sustained an uncompromised dedication to the highest level of professionalism and competence.
In addition to independence, our distinct advantage is our singular Sector specialisation; we are primarily an oil & gas boutique that is better positioned to include and leverage the hands-on expertise of our technical consultants, primarily petroleum engineers, combined with the sophisticated corporate finance prowess of a leading investment bank. Our model has evolved in response to the industry’s increasing demand for a more thoughtful and sophisticated approach to portfolio optimization, capital re-deployment, and careful investing. As a result, our track record of delivering value for clients, and our unique combination of skills, has quickly made us the firm of choice for sophisticated clients looking to achieve superior results under challenging market conditions, including in the emerging and frontier markets.
