When selling (or financing) your company, you need an advisor who can be an effective liaison between the buyer (or lender/investor) and the seller (or borrower). Our exclusive focus on the middle market means we understand and relate to entrepreneurial business owners. At the same time, we serve corporate and private equity clients during a divestiture or spin off, portfolio company sale, or when board issues arise.
