2024 Global Results

We enter 2025 with strong momentum after another successful year of delivering outstanding results and solutions on behalf of clients around the world. And, like them, we are bullish about the prospect of a rebound in the private capital markets now that the uncertainty and recalibration of 2023 and 2024 are behind us.

The evidence of our impact is highlighted by more than 360 closed transactions, global talent growth to more than 1,000 professionals including 18 lateral Managing Director hires, and significant momentum across each of our core products:

  • We experienced a steady increase in M&A activity as 2024 unfolded and head into 2025 with a record level of M&A backlog
  • Our Valuations & Opinions Group delivered more than 22,000 portfolio valuations and the insights gleaned from their proprietary database have made Lincoln a luminary on the private capital markets, trusted by clients, investment research organizations and the media for intelligence
  • The Transaction Opinions & Board Advisory team experienced 100% growth in number of opinions delivered and board advisory engagements, ranking in the top three  among U.S. providers and fourth globally*
  • Lincoln’s Capital Advisory Group completed 160+ transactions over the last three years, providing increasingly deft and creative alternative financing solutions to clients as they navigated the market
  • Our Private Funds Advisory Group closed 12 GP-led transactions and four funds, representing $4.8 billion of enterprise value and $2.8 billion of fund commitments

We expect 2025 to be buoyed by more certainty in our markets and massive appetite to put capital to work.

As always, partnering with you to help you realize your business and strategic goals remains our proudest accomplishment. We look forward to continued success with you this year.
