The Firm – Building Deals for the Builders of Business

David T. Lender & Associates, LLC is a New York-based mergers and acquisitions and strategic advisory firm. The firm specializes in advising middle market companies on creating and maximizing value. We offer our services to private entrepreneurs and families, financial sponsors and corporate owners.

Our Approach – Senior Focus Always at Work

Our approach is simple: focused advice of David T. Lender, a 26-year Wall Street veteran, limited to 1 or 2 client assignments at a time. We do a diagnostic review of the business, value it and evaluate all appropriate strategic options. Our solutions are tailored to our client’s needs and individual circumstances. We know how many clients have heard financial advisors preach bespoke tailoring, only to get an off-the-rack M&A auction that buckshots 90 sale memorandums all over the marketplace, managed by the junior Vice President who never got a word in at the pitch. Our recommendations are crafted and our engagements are executed by the founder, sole owner and senior professional of our firm.

Our Advantage – Experience and Objectivity

We are familiar with private company dynamics. We know how to navigate the subtleties of corporate decision processes. Many days and nights spent negotiating in stale-aired conference rooms have given us unique insight into how to maximize value in sales of companies. And our view is unclouded by other agendas – our firm offers only our advice. Since we don’t have any other “products”, such as financings, to sell you, our advice is completely objective.
