Why Lemnos?

Large consultancies often do not have domain knowledge in specialized, technologically intensive fields. Transaction-only specialists don’t have the proper industry perspective.

Consider reaching out to us if you are looking for one of the following related to one of the industries we specialize in:

  1. Strategic advising for a unique project
  2. Industry expertise for a one-time consulting call
  3. Industry expertise for sell-side M&A
