With over 170 M&A professionals in Europe, America and Asia Lincoln International proved once again that most companies sold by us were acquired by foreign strategic buyers, especially from America and Asia.

For 2011 Lincoln International expects a considerable further increase in M&A activity in the German mid-cap segment. Currently Lincoln International is working on over two dozen active sell-side mandates in the German speaking countries. Additionally, numerous conversations with corporate and private equity clients indicate an increasing willingness to consider company acquisitions and dispositions. In light of this development Lincoln International aims to further broaden its industry expertise and expand its Frankfurt office, which currently employs a staff of 40.
