M&A can seem complex —
we can guide you through it.

LAVA is an M&A advisory with a difference. We never do the same deal twice, working across all sectors and scopes to focus on where our creative, bespoke approach to dealmaking can have the most impact. Buy side, sell side, or purely advisory, LAVA has the answers.

A positive difference

As a proudly certified B Corp, LAVA is part of a community of global leaders dedicated to using business as a force for good. Every year, we donate 2.5% of our revenue directly to charitable organisations, with a particular focus on youth mental health and wellbeing. The work we do provides charities like Place2Be, Unicef, NSPCC, WellChild and more, with the funding and tools to prepare future generations for the challenges of the working world.
