The firm’s truly entrepreneurial approach, which combines advisory and industry experience, provides a unique opportunity to continue to build a leading platform to serve the mid-market. As dealmaking continues to pick up, we are well-positioned to support clients with their needs, with broad transactions expertise combined with deep sector knowledge.”
