WHAT WE REPRESENT
AS A COMPANY

Dinan delivers an unwavering commitment to obtaining superior outcomes for our clients by providing best-in-class services and flawless execution in a culture of excellence, teamwork, and integrity. It’s why we have one of the highest success rates in M&A.

Dinan is the brand under which Dinan & Company, LLC and its subsidiary, Dinan Capital Advisors, operate and provide services. We often use 'Dinan’ or the “Dinan platform” to refer to the parent and its subsidiary individually or collectively.

The companies that make up the Dinan platform are committed to working together to provide quality service offerings for clients at every stage of the business life cycle. Our individual entities draw on the collective resources and expertise that exist within, and the synergies created by, the Dinan platform.

THE STORY BEHIND DINAN

Our commitment to our clients is matched only by our commitment to our people. Realizing that it requires extraordinary people to create extraordinary results, we have always sought to create an environment that fosters passion and excellence. Accordingly, since our founding, we have been committed to growth as a means to inspire this passion and to provide increasing challenges and opportunities for our dedicated employees.
