Bain & Company

Bain & Company is a global management consulting firm founded in 1973. It works alongside clients on strategy, operations, technology, transformation and other business challenges, with a presence across a global network of offices. Its client base spans private equity firms, their portfolio businesses and cross-industry corporate clients - work that frequently touches mergers, acquisitions and large-scale corporate change, areas familiar to lawyers in private practice and in-house teams.

The firm's advisory work covers strategy, operations, technology and artificial intelligence, organisation design, marketing, mergers and acquisitions, transformation and sustainability. Services include strategy consulting, operational performance improvement, technology and AI implementation, organisational design and capability building, marketing strategy, M&A advisory and the guidance of large-scale transformation programmes.

Bain describes its approach as working alongside clients through the hard part of a problem, and as translating insight into action. The emphasis is on practical implementation and lasting results rather than recommendations alone, together with building client capabilities so that organisations can adapt to change.
