Broad incumbents

• Lazard: Lazard is a global financial advisory and asset management firm with a premier M&A advisory practice. Comparable as an independent (non-bank) advisor competing for cross-border M&A mandates, though operating at the largest end of the market versus InterChina's mid-market focus.
• Houlihan Lokey: Houlihan Lokey is a publicly listed global investment bank with a leading mid-market M&A advisory practice. Comparable in mid-market M&A focus and client base (corporates and financial sponsors), but significantly larger and broader in scope than InterChina.
• Evercore: Evercore is a global independent investment banking advisory firm specializing in M&A, restructuring, and capital markets advisory. Comparable as a conflict-free, advisory-only firm competing for cross-border M&A mandates, though operating at a meaningfully larger scale.

Direct peers

• Clairfield International: Clairfield International is a global mid-market M&A advisory partnership with strong presence in Europe and Asia. Comparable as a partner-led, independent cross-border M&A advisor serving middle-market corporates and PE firms, similar in positioning to InterChina's IMAP affiliation.
• Arma Partners: Arma Partners is an independent advisor focused on technology, media, and digital M&A with offices in London, San Francisco, and other hubs. Comparable as an independent, partner-led advisory firm operating in the mid-to-large M&A market on cross-border transactions.
• BDA Partners: BDA Partners is an independent global M&A and investment banking advisory firm headquartered in Hong Kong, with deep specialism in cross-border deals involving Asia, particularly China. Directly comparable to InterChina in scale, sector focus, and cross-border China/Asia advisory positioning.
• Clearwater International: Clearwater International is an independent corporate finance advisor focused on mid-market deals across Europe, Asia, and the US. Already a strategic partner of InterChina, with comparable transaction size focus and sector breadth in industrials, consumer, healthcare.
• Lincoln International: Lincoln International is a global mid-market M&A advisory firm operating across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Comparable as a senior-led, mid-market-focused advisory firm handling cross-border transactions of similar size (USD 50-500M) and serving PE and corporate clients.

Emerging players

• DealGlobe (易界): DealGlobe is a China- and UK-based cross-border M&A advisory and deal-matching platform leveraging digital tools. Comparable as a cross-border China-focused M&A advisor serving mid-market clients, though differentiated by its technology-enabled deal-origination model versus InterChina's relationship-led approach.

Regional players

• Tianyu Advisory / China-focused boutiques: Local China-rooted M&A boutique advisory firms (e.g., analogous domestic advisors serving inbound/outbound mandates). Comparable as China-specialist independent advisors, though typically operating only within China and without InterChina's outbound cross-border execution capability.
