History
The firm was originally founded by Robert B. Barr and Jim Lawson as a boutique investment banking firm, Lincoln Partners, in 1996. The two co-founders of Lincoln Partners had worked together from 1981 through 1990 in the Mergers and Acquisitions Department of Paine Webber. In 1990, they left Paine Webber to start up the Chicago office of Peers & Co. where they remained for six years. The firm was named after the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.
Through the late 1990s, Lincoln Partners grew to an organization of approximately 30 people and became a registered broker dealer.
In January 2006, Lincoln International was formed through the merger of Lincoln Partners and Peters Associates, two middle market investment banks based in the U.S. and Germany respectively. At the time of the merger, Lincoln International had offices in Chicago, Frankfurt, New York and Paris. The firms had previously worked together through a strategic joint venture established in 2005 as Lincoln Partners was seeking a partner to expand beyond the US.
Lincoln International was built upon providing advisory services to leading industrial companies. They have over 180 completed advisory assignments within the industrial space in the past five years.
