“Over the past 18 months, we have expanded our business by reimagining how investment banking advisory services can best be provided to middle-market clients,” Frankel said. “Encompassing capital advisory, M&A advisory, special situations and restructuring services, we are building our practice from the client’s point of view, focusing on a solutions-oriented, not just transactional, approach. Scott understands and shares our passion for superior client-centric service for middle-market companies.”
