Our Offices
Zurich is the ideal base for a firm specializing in fund advisory, M&A advisory, and single-asset management, connecting Swiss expertise with the CEE market. As Switzerland's financial heart, Zurich offers unparalleled stability, regulatory transparency, and access to a sophisticated investor base, which are essential for managing complex cross-border transactions. The city's world-class banking infrastructure and wealth of financial talent create a robust ecosystem for advising on diverse asset classes and sophisticated investment structures.
Budapest stands as an ideal hub for an M&A advisory bridging Switzerland and the CEE region, blending strategic accessibility with dynamic market potential. As a central point in Europe, Budapest offers direct connectivity and close proximity to both Western Europe and CEE, facilitating seamless cross-border transactions. With a robust financial services sector, cost-effective operational advantages, and a highly skilled, multilingual workforce, the city is well-equipped to handle the unique complexities of cross-regional mergers and acquisitions. Furthermore, Hungary's favorable investment climate, including tax incentives for foreign investors, makes Budapest a compelling choice.

In Memoriam
On October 12, 1970, Dr. Ulrich Langanke was born, and his remarkable life and contributions remain deeply etched in our hearts and minds. We honor his memory with this tribute.
Fluent in five languages, he combined linguistic talent with exceptional negotiation skills and a diplomatic demeanor. His unique qualities set him apart as an exceptional leader and mentor.
In July 2018, Dr. Langanke, together with his mentee and then Junior Partner Bence Balogh, founded LSG & Langanke AG.
Following Dr. Langanke’s passing on January 13, 2024, Bence Balogh restructured LSG & Langanke AG into Langanke Partners AG to carry forward the legacy they built together.
Yet the core principles and values remain unwaveringly aligned with Dr. Langanke's spirit and vision. Langanke Partners AG stands as a testament to their shared commitment to excellence, integrity, and purposeful growth.
