About LANIN Advisory
We combine strategic positioning, operational understanding, and transaction experience to support founders and investors across the full M&A lifecycle.
We work alongside long-term acquirers, private equity-backed platforms, and founder-led businesses, offering advice grounded in broad experience across M&A transactions in the European lower mid-market.
