From his biography on buy-out investment firm BC Partners:

Le Cercle
According to his former profile at Benador Associates:
- he has since 1996 been Chairman of Le Cercle, a foreign policy Club founded by German Chancellor Adenauer after the War with members from over twenty-five countries. This group, which meets bi-annually in Washington DC, includes many senior intelligence experts and has a particular interest in the War against Terrorism.[3]
The Evening Standard reported in 2003 that Lamont was attending a Le Cercle gathering in Salzburg.
