Livingstone’s UK team of 34 bankers will migrate to Rothschild as part of the deal.
The deal, which is pending regulatory approval, aligns with Rothschild & Co’s plan to bolster its footprint in the UK lower mid-market sector.
The investment bank has already established a similar unit to serve this market segment in France.
Rothschild & Co managing partner Robert Leitão said: “The acquisition of Livingstone in the UK provides a unique opportunity for us to establish a dedicated UK lower mid-market team, a segment of the market that we don’t actively participate in today.”
