Deal Advisory is led by Lauren Silkstone, an experienced entrepreneur and commercial leader with deep expertise in finance, negotiation, and business operations.

Lauren built a solid foundation through NZ and Australia based financial roles before progressing to qualified independent Financial Advisor where she honed her skills in financial analysis, risk management, and client representation.

Driven by a “buy over build” philosophy, Lauren transitioned into direct investment and business ownership more than a decade ago. Over this period, she has owned, operated, and improved multiple businesses and commercial property assets, developing a disciplined system for creating value and achieving strong, consistent returns.

Her background gives her a unique blend of analytical capability, commercial judgment, and real‑world negotiation experience — all of which she brings to clients navigating business deals, property transactions, and personal settlements.

Deal Advisory exists to provide calm, strategic, and outcome‑focused support in situations where the right negotiation can make a meaningful difference.
