Lincoln International, a global mid-market investment bank, announced the opening of its Amsterdam office, further strengthening Amsterdam as a financial centre.
The Amsterdam office of Lincoln International will focus on advising on mid-market transactions in combination with very active merger & acquisition (M&A) practices in North America, Europe and Asia.
The new office will be led by Eric Wijs, who recently joined the firm as Managing Director and Head of Benelux. Eric will work closely with Michael Bottenheim, a Dutch national who is an Advisory Director with Lincoln International based in London.
The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area offers companies in all sectors a gateway to Europe and the Benelux area in particular. This strategic location will give Lincoln International a competitive edge since Benelux represents an important economic region in Europe with strong connections to North America, Germany, France, the UK and Asia — key markets where Lincoln International is already present.
The firm's presence in the Amsterdam Area will help to expand and strengthen its relationships with current and prospective clients in this important market.
"As we continue to expand, the Benelux market is important because it has many very good companies in a wide range of industries that are active in cross-border acquisitions or attractive to cross-border buyers," said Jim Lawson, Chairman of Lincoln International.
"Having an Amsterdam office with dedicated local resources allows Lincoln International to deepen our ties with Belgian and Dutch public and private companies, private equity firms and public sector entities."
Lincoln International employs approximately 130 investment bankers and 180 including administrative and advisory directors. The firm has established a strong presence in the key global economies, with offices in Chicago, Frankfurt, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Vienna and now Amsterdam.
