It is the case that Nicholas Assef is best known as the founder of Lincoln Crowne & Company Pty. Limited, a very prominent investment firm, where he currently serves as an Executive Director and a Senior Analyst. While he is currently positioned as a specialist in the Australian and South East Asian markets, but he knows a lot more than that. He actually has a ton of experience in many diverse areas, including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and valuations, but he also has the ability to help companies develop successful growth strategies, and he can help companies deal with shareholder rights issues and to perform strategic due diligence, which is how companies avoid trouble down the line.
Over the last quarter century, Nicholas Assef has built up an extensive body of work in the corporate world, the legal profession and even in the academic world. He has shown himself to be one of the most dynamic and persuasive mergers and acquisitions investment bankers in the Australian and South East Asian markets, but what sets Nicholas Assef apart from many others in his realm is his reputation as a shrewd negotiator, capable of applying strategies and tactics that are based on "game theory" to the negotiations in which he is involved.
Long before he founded Lincoln Crowne, Nicholas Assef was a corporate attorney with Allen, Allen & Hemsley in Sydney, before he turned his attention to investment banking.
These days, Nicholas Assef understands that clients don't hire a firm like Lincoln Crowne just for basic services they can get anywhere. Most of the time, they have a specific outcome in mind and they want someone who can attain that for them. His approach to negotiations has been described as "tenacious."
