Campbell Lutyens

Founded in London in 1988 by John Campbell, Richard Lutyens and Bill Dacombe, Campbell Lutyens advises private-market fund managers and institutional investors. Its core work spans primary fundraising, secondary transactions and GP capital advisory across private equity, infrastructure, private credit and sustainable investing.

The firm is particularly strong in secondary advisory: it reports advising on more than $210 billion of transactions and completing over 451 secondary portfolio sales and advisory mandates. Its placement business also has a strong infrastructure profile; Campbell Lutyens says it ranked first in Infrastructure Investor's 2024 placement-agent table.

Campbell Lutyens operates across 15 locations in three continents, with more than 350 team members according to its current company overview. In April 2026, Lazard announced an agreement to acquire the firm, with closing anticipated during calendar year 2026 subject to regulatory approvals.
