Marschollek, Lautenschläger & Partner was founded in 1971 by Eicke Marschollek and Manfred Lautenschläger in Heidelberg, Germany.

The MLP head office is in Wiesloch near Heidelberg. The head offices of the subsidiaries Feri and TPC are in Bad Homburg and Hamburg respectively.

Supported by comprehensive research, the MLP Group provides a holistic consulting approach that covers all economic and financial questions for private and corporate clients, as well as institutional investors. The key aspect of the consulting approach is the independence of insurance companies, banks and investment firms.

An overview of the members of the Executive Board and of the Supervisory Board is available under Management.

All financial consultants work for MLP on a full-time basis as self-employed commercial agents.

MLP consultants are either university graduates (more than 80 percent) or have qualified in an appropriate educational field such as banking or insurance. On top of this, each new consultant undertakes a 2-year basic training course at the MLP Corporate University, which has, as one of only 15 corporate universities in Europe, been accredited by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). The insurance agent qualification (IHK), which is required under the German broker’s law (Vermittlerrecht) is integrated into this curriculum; new MLP consultants complete this course during the first three months of their training period. Upon completion of the basic training MLP consultants participate in further training in all relevant subject areas. Since July 2010 MLP also enables the consultants to prepare themselves for the certification to Certified Financial Planner (CFP), the highest internationally acknowledged quality standard in the financial services sector at the company’s own university. As an additional qualification MLP also offers the Executive Master of Business Administration (MBA).
