Our deep industry knowledge and full range of services allows us to be especially effective for a specialized group of clients - financial sponsors. We have found that financial sponsors often have some of the most complex financial advisory needs; needs that are quite different from a typical private company. Dealing with multiple ownership entities, agency conflicts between management and investors, portfolio mangement considerations and limited partner pressures requires an experienced financial advisor that is comfortable dealing with complicated issues. Our senior professionals have an extensive track record in providing top-tier service to financial sponsor groups while dealing with mutiple constituencies with an interest in a transaction or assignment.

At GH&F, we pride ourselves on customizing each sale process to the specific needs of our client and the particular situation. We take the time and expend the energy necessary to understand all important issues of our clients and their portfolio companies, both economic and non-economic. The result is maximization of value for the financial sponsor with careful handling of related issues, including confidentiality, structure and upside for management and employees.

The professionals at GH&F have a long and successful track record in working with financial sponsor groups across the country handling the advisory needs of their portfolio companies. Services we have provided include:

• Seller Representations
• Buyer Advisories
