’This is an important milestone for MarshBerry and our clients,’ says chief executive

Global investment banking advisory firm Lincoln International has completed its acquisition of MarshBerry.

MarshBerry is a global M&A advisory firm for insurance brokers and wealth management firms. The deal was first announced in September 2025.

Lincoln International said closing the acquisition positioned it for accelerated growth, delivering increased value to clients, employees and stakeholders.

“The closing of the MarshBerry acquisition marks a significant step forward in our growth strategy,” said Rob Brown, chief executive at Lincoln International.

“I am energised by what our combined teams will accomplish together and the value we will create for our clients and our people.”

’Important milestone’

MarshBerry has expanded in recent years. For example, in October 2023 it acquired Imas as part of plans to expand into the UK.

The latest deal will see MarshBerry become part of Lincoln’s International’s investment banking advisory business.

”This partnership gives MarshBerry access to expanded resources, deeper capital markets expertise and broader advisory capabilities through Lincoln International’s global platform,” a statement said.

MarshBerry chief executive John Wepler added: “This is an important milestone for MarshBerry and our clients.

”Joining Lincoln’s platform creates significant opportunity for growth and impact and we look forward to leveraging our combined strengths.”
