Founded in 1970 by John R. Van Slyke, Jr., has has been a boutique policy-level consulting firm that provides management and financial advisory services to selected clients.
We compete only at the top end of the market.
Of necessity, our work must be equal to or better than services that are provided by the best firms in the consulting business, including McKinsey, Bain & Co., Boston Consulting Group, and the best banking and law firms on Wall Street.
The primary reason is that we specialize in sensitive, high-stakes work with selected clients in the areas of business governance, litigation support, and landmark business negotiations and transactions in private markets.
These are typically matters of vital importance to our clients. As a matter of policy, no client large or small receives less than the very best and most effective service we can provide.
We have a distinguished record of achievement in these kinds of matters during five major economic and capital market cycles in the United States. We also are well connected to key players in a number of different areas of importance to our clients.
We also devote substantial resources to several continuing investigations related to (a) creating value in business entities and investments, and (b) lifetime personal economic strategy and capital formation.
These investigations provide content for publication products of Morgan Hall Publications.
