Our Philosophy
Avington's advisory service is founded on our ability to contribute in-depth industry knowledge along with extensive transaction experience to provide highly strategic advice and deal execution services to select clientele.
Our clients receive our full attention, with our Founder and senior bankers taking a hands-on approach throughout all stages of a mandate. We pride ourselves on our post-closing follow-up, oftentimes remaining involved long after traditional bulge-bracket investment banks have moved on to their next deal.
Avington seeks to align the provision of our conflict-free advisory services with clients' long-term strategic goals, combining specific transaction advice with an ongoing commitment to furthering our clients' business and investment objectives. As such, it seeks to concentrate its activity on select, preferred client relationships to whom it offers the full spectrum of strategic and financial M&A advice and execution.
Our Values
Avington's culture is based on the core principles of Exclusivity, Independence, Integrity and the Primacy of Client Interests.
Exclusivity
Avington’s unwavering respect for client confidentiality and constant dedication to our clients' ongoing interests are key foundations of our service offering. By concentrating on a narrow range of sectors, Avington professionals can maintain the uppermost levels of industry intelligence and valuable connections with business and investment leaders to provide sophisticated, well-informed and timely advice.
Independence
Avington offers objective, conflict-free advice neither influenced nor compromised by competing business lines. To ensure such independence and ability to provide continuous, conflict-free advice, Avington does not engage in securities trading, publish company-specific research nor underwrite or distribute equity, debt or derivative securities.
Integrity
The strength of Avington's service is anchored by its team. We strive to be leaders in our sectors of focus by promoting excellence, creativity, entrepreneurialism and professionalism, all with the highest ethics. We are dedicated to complying fully with the letter and spirit of all applicable laws, rules and ethical principles.
Primacy of Client Interests
Constant attention to client interests drives Avington's service-oriented culture. Our success in maintaining enduring relationships with clients is a result of devoting senior professional attention and dedicated teams throughout all stages of the mandate, including long after the transaction closes.
