Ladd & Co. is a private advisory and investment firm acting for principals, families, and private institutions across M&A, capital placement, structuring, and related mandates. The firm is family owned, operates across nine cities, and does not advertise its work. Clients come to us on a name, and they stay for generations.

Bring your judgement, curiosity and sense of responsibility. Work with colleagues across jurisdictions on matters that shape businesses, ownership and families.

An annual learning budget for relevant courses, professional qualifications and memberships, alongside development through the work itself.

Your working environment

Support for a reliable workspace, suitable equipment and connectivity, so working remotely has a practical foundation.
