Culture
There is a FORCE that drives L&B, it is the connection of our people, their careers and our clients.
Flexible + Ownership Mentality + Respect + Connected + Empowered = FORCE
Our employees are passionate, ones who thrive in a collegial environment of honesty and mutual respect, ones who conduct themselves according to a shared set of commonly held beliefs, values and practices in the execution of their duties. Because our employees are the foundation of our culture, we strive to maintain a healthy and productive environment. We believe offering a comprehensive benefits package along with activities to encourage connection among employees elevates L&B as a place where we want to work.

Responsible Investment
Our client’s investment objectives are our first and foremost obligation as a fiduciary. Responsible investment is an approach to investing that incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into all investment decisions to better manage risk and generate sustainable long-term returns. L&B agrees and advocates a holistic approach to integrating ESG factors into firm management decisions by committing to reduce its environmental impact; foster a productive, safe and engaging work environment, and promote diversity and ethical behavior among our employees and firm leadership.
