You need the best M&A solutions.
We’ll hunt down and deliver them.

We are eager to find new, different and unusual angles to business problems. This energy is a key ingredient in successful M&A, ensuring that transaction solutions are not just financially sound but a good social and cultural fit.

We could stop at adequate, but we won’t.

Ambitious?
Yes, proudly so.

We’re compelled to get outstanding results. This means never taking the easy way out and ‘settling’. Our clients don’t just need a satisfactory result. They need support and guidance. We express these qualities in all of our interactions.

We could stop at adequate, but we won’t.

We don’t hide behind a corporate façade.

We openly think out of the box, we find sparks of insight, we dare to think differently. This creative approach pushes the boundaries of the possible, in every stage of the M&A process.

Having a strategic vision — however left-field it may be — and exploring the ramifications of it, is a central part of what we do.

We could stop at adequate, but we won’t.

Others don’t have skin in the game. We do.

We take our work personally — it is precisely because of this that it really matters. We are emotionally involved in what we do, ensuring not just that we get our clients results but that we get the best outcome that no one has ever considered. This personal element draws on our reserves of courage, tenacity and patience, but it pays off in what we are able to ultimately achieve.

LAVA Advisory Partners’ creativity in devising exactly the right process for us stood out as a novel, bespoke approach in an industry where many players seem to offer the same solutions.

We put trust at the heart of what we do.

We surpass expectations in terms of customer service, the M&A process and the final result. We achieve this by prioritising meticulousness, using our sector-focused knowledge, embracing bold approaches, thinking both creatively and strategically, and bringing our seniority to the table. Taken together, these ingredients form the deep personal partnership that we enjoy with our clients and that leads to success.
