The firm was founded in 1996 as Lincoln Partners by Rob Barr, Jim Lawson, Ed Hanlon and Eric Malchow before rebranding as Lincoln International in 2007 following the Peters Associates merger. Lincoln is 100% owned by senior management and managing directors with no institutional or external shareholders.
