London-based CIL is a boutique firm specialising in growth strategy, risk management and investment advice for clients. Founded in 1986, the firm differentiates its offerings based on its "deep sector knowledge" and "rigorous research." Offerings are separated into two main groups: management support, and investor advice. 

There's no such thing as a "typical" CIL client-the firm serves organizations large and small, as well as private funds and other financial institutions. In turn, those clients can come from almost anywhere in the world, and a number of industries including: Business and support services; Construction and building products; Consumer, retail and leisure; Energy, utilities and natural resources; Financial services, Health, care and education; Industrial products and services; and Technology.
