Lincoln International

Founded as Lincoln Partners by four bankers in Chicago on April 1, 1996, Lincoln International has grown into a global advisory firm focused on the private capital markets. It is headquartered in Chicago and serves private equity firms, public companies, privately held businesses and business owners.

The firm advises on mergers and acquisitions, capital structure and financing, private funds, and valuation and opinions. Its work is concentrated in the middle market, with sector teams covering areas including industrials, business services, healthcare, consumer and technology.

Lincoln is especially strong in sponsor-related and cross-border transactions. Its integrated international platform, sizeable private-equity client base and recurring valuation work give interns exposure to both transaction execution and broader private-capital-market analysis.
