In 2008 when the founders of the Cicero Group contemplated a name for their corporate advisory and administration business they found inspiration in a trilogy of novels by writer Robert Harris concerning the remarkable life of Roman consul Marcus Tullius Cicero. Statesman, philosopher, orator, and political theorist, Cicero was revered for his providence, compassion, valour and fiscal prudence. He also had a strong sense of duty and a deep empathy for the welfare of those whom he represented. At the Cicero Group we have embraced these values and consider our core strength to routinely co-invest alongside our clients to ensure our interests are aligned with our valued clients.
