Who We Serve

Six kinds of client. One appetite.

Our people have run the functions they advise on — plants, practices, portfolios and P&Ls.

01

Private Capital & Investors

Sponsors, family offices and holding companies with operating assets to improve.

02

Law & Professional Firms

Partnerships facing growth, merger or generational change.

03

Software & Technology

Product organizations where engineering capacity has become the binding constraint.

04

Manufacturing & Distribution

Plants, networks and the logistics between them.

05

Education & Nonprofit

Institutions balancing mission against a budget that no longer balances itself.

06

Health & Care Services

Multi-site provider groups and the businesses that supply them.

Capabilities

Four capabilities. Built to be used.

We are hired to change something, not to describe it. Every capability below ends in an implemented result.

01

Operating Advisory

Hands-on work with management on cost, throughput and the handful of processes that everything else waits on.

02

Diligence & Evidence

Independent assessment ahead of a decision — commercial, operational and organizational, sourced first-hand.

03

Expansion & Integration

New locations, new lines, and the first four quarters after an acquisition, which is where most value is lost.

04

Leadership & Structure

Reporting lines, spans of control and the succession bench, designed to survive the next transition.

About Ravenscourt Partners

Ravenscourt Partners is a privately-held global advisory and investment conglomerate with operations in 40+ countries. The Group's portfolio spans strategic services, capital deployment, and operating businesses across sectors — held together by a long-term, founder-aligned philosophy.

The Group

Operators, not commentators.

Claybourne Group is an advisory firm working across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. As part of Ravenscourt Partners, we pair international reach with senior teams who stay on site — the work is done with your people, not presented to them.

Our work is partner-led, conviction-weighted, and built around a small number of engagements at a time. We do not pursue volume. We pursue outcomes the principal can name three years later.
