Industries
A practice describes what we do. An industry describes the context we do not need explaining. Six sectors account for most of the firm's work, and in each of them the recurring questions are specific enough to name.
Banks, asset managers, insurers, and the payments businesses now regulated like all three.
Financial services clients rarely bring us a single question. They bring a commercial decision with a regulatory constraint attached, and want to know how much of the decision survives the constraint.
Software, devices, and data businesses, and the older companies that have become them.
Half the technology clients we advise do not describe themselves as technology companies. They are manufacturers, insurers, and hospital groups whose principal commercial asset has quietly become a dataset.
Generation, transmission, digital infrastructure, and the long-duration contracts behind them.
An infrastructure asset is a set of contracts that has to survive twenty-five years of conditions nobody drafted for. Most of our work in the sector is about that survival.
Providers, device manufacturers, and diagnostics businesses operating under clinical and commercial obligations at once.
In this sector the commercial question and the patient safety question are never fully separable, and advice that treats them separately is not useful.
Manufacturers, distributors, and consumer businesses, many of them family-controlled.
A large share of the industrial companies we advise are controlled by families, which changes the transaction, the governance, and often the timetable.
Universities, foundations, cultural institutions, and the investment offices that support them.
Institutional clients are answerable to a board, a mission, and often a public. Advice that ignores any of the three is incomplete.
