Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Advisory Expertise 

Our Investment Banking group excels in both M&A strategy and execution, and has uniquely aligned our services to the needs of middle market and mid-cap companies. Our team combines in-depth industry and market knowledge to customize creative ideas addressing our clients’ unique needs. Our involvement ranges from succession planning to advice on sell-side, buy-side, and structured capital transactions, and from early stage evaluation of strategic alternatives to in-depth execution of an M&A.

Succession Planning

When it’s time to take your business in a new direction, our team can help lead the way. After giving so much of yourself to your business, we understand how important it is that what you’ve worked to build will last. Our expert team will help you develop a succession plan so that the future of your business is just as bright as the past.

Middle Market and Mid-Cap Specialization 

We serve all our clients based on deep insights of the middle market.

Our entire team has spent much of their careers serving the middle market, establishing proven M&A experience in sell-side advisory, buy-side advisory, and recapitalizations.
