Leerink Partners Expands Internationally with New London Office Opening

Leerink Partners Opens Office in London, Signifying Strategic International Expansion



Leerink Partners, a prominent healthcare investment banking firm, has taken a significant step towards enhancing its global reach by announcing the launch of its first international office in London. This strategic expansion aims to bolster its merger and acquisition (M&A) advisory capabilities for clients across Europe. The firm appointed Eric Stewart as Senior Managing Director to spearhead its European healthcare business, a move that reflects its commitment to providing tailored financial solutions in an increasingly complex market.

With a well-established presence in the United States, Leerink Partners has built a strong reputation in the healthcare investment banking sector, advising on significant transactions and raising capital for a diverse range of clients. The decision to extend operations into London serves as a pivotal move to cement its influence in the European market, catering to the growing demand for specialized healthcare financial services.

Eric Stewart, who brings over a decade of experience from his previous role at Lazard, will be at the forefront of this expansion. His extensive background in advising on notable transactions positions him well to lead the European venture. Prior to his tenure at Lazard, Stewart was part of the healthcare investment banking team at Houlihan Lokey and began his career at Stryker. His depth of experience in the healthcare space is expected to play a crucial role in driving the firm’s growth and establishing long-lasting relationships with European clients.

Tom Davidson, Co-President of Leerink Partners and Co-Head of Global Investment Banking, expressed his enthusiasm for this new chapter in the firm’s history. He stated, "Expanding to London provides us with a foundation upon which to build a premier advisory business. Eric has a proven track record in advising high-profile transactions in the region and across the globe. I look forward to collaborating with Eric and our management team to develop the business."

Stewart also shared his excitement about joining Leerink Partners during this transformative time. He emphasized, "The firm's singular focus on healthcare, deep industry relationships, and commitment to excellence create a powerful platform to serve clients across Europe. I am eager to help expand the firm’s global presence and provide trusted advisory in a dynamic marketplace."
