Company Overview
LEÓN, MAYER & Co. (“LM”) is a private equity and financial advisory firm
based in Miami and New York. LM’s private equity practice is divided into real
estate and hospitality acquisitions, and corporate acquisitions. Our financial
advisory practice advises select clients on financing, and merger and
acquisition transactions.
LM’s real estate and hospitality practice focuses primarily on the acquisition,
financing, redevelopment, and management of existing hospitality and
residential properties in select metropolitan markets in the U.S., Latin
America, and the Caribbean. Our corporate acquisitions practice focuses on the
acquisition of small-cap companies throughout the U.S. that present value-added
and turnaround opportunities that can benefit from more focused management and
improved operating efficiency.
LM seeks to forge close partnerships with strong management talent to enhance
asset value by clearly defining strategic direction, deploying the requisite
capital investment to support plans and providing close asset oversight. We
focus primarily on transactions with a total value of $20 million to $100
million.
LM was co-founded by Andro Nodarse-León and Benjamin G.
Mayer in August 2005.

diligence, (3) optimizing the capital structure for its investments, (4)
