Laeceum Information

WHO WE ARE Laeceum is a London-based advisory and consulting boutique serving corporates, family offices/entrepreneurs, financial sponsors and fintechs. Laeceum was founded with a mission to invert the traditional advisory and consulting model and to redress the historical risk/reward mismatch between client and advisor. We believe clients deserve better. Each Laeceum client and situation is treated as if it were our first. Our impact is lasting and tangible long after we leave. That's why we're confident in a success fee model for everything we do. WHAT WE DO Laeceum provides strategic advice to financial institutions, financial sponsors, fintechs and family offices & entrepreneurs in four main areas: Advisory; Corporate Strategy; Corporate Development; Strategic R&A. We focus exclusively on the financial services sector and choose our work carefully to ensure lasting impact with the right clients. Our model allows us to provide both turnkey packages where speed and budget are key as well as bespoke services where requirements are nuanced. THE LAECEUM DIFFERENCE We are not generalists and choose our engagements carefully based on the longevity and speed of impact we can deliver to our clients. Our six principles drive everything we do from the minutest level of financial analysis to presenting our recommendations in the boardroom. - The client's best interests govern every action no matter how seemingly trivial - Transparency and honesty at every step of the way even if it reveals unpalatable truths - Dissent drives better analysis which drives better decisions - Embrace collegiality and teamwork as a catalyst for change and innovation - Question everything as long as it's the right question - Temper intellectual curiosity with real-world pragmatism Our clients are treated with care and respect and we want to earn the same back. Until then, we will move mountains to get the job done.
