History

In 1983, three partners from Bain & Company – James Lawrence, Iain Evans and Richard Koch – founded L.E.K. Consulting in London.[6] Some of L.E.K.'s major project milestones have included strategic and commercial advice for the U.K. government on the privatization of passenger train operating companies in the mid-1990s, assisting the launch of one of the world's first pure direct Internet banks in 1996, being the sole strategic adviser on the world's largest airline merger in 2007 and the transformation of a mid-tier global pharmaceutical company into an industry leader in 2009. In 2008, L.E.K. became the first global major management consulting firm to hold 'carbon neutral' status.[7]

Culture

The firm is known for a regional staffing model, where consultants travel comparatively less often than competitors.[8]

Awards

L.E.K. was awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise for export in 2007.[9]
