Dresner Partners' Financial Institutions Corporate Finance Group is made up of 10 senior corporate finance professionals in Chicago and New York. The group has more than 70 years of combined financial services investment banking experience, completing 20 M&A, financial advisory, restructuring and financing assignments in the past three years. Our corporate finance professionals come from a number of large Wall Street investment banks, bringing with them years of experience in analyzing, structuring, negotiating and closing complex transactions. Their backgrounds include general corporate finance, domestic and cross-border M&A, private placements, commercial lending, leveraged acquisitions and recapitalizations, and restructurings and bankruptcies. Collectively, they have raised over $3 billion in private financing since 2006.

Our areas of expertise include initiating and closing mergers and acquisitions; assessing strategic alternatives; raising equity and debt capital; providing valuations and issuing fairness opinions; and sourcing non-recourse asset-based senior debt and mezzanine financing. We actively interface with the institutional private equity and debt capital markets on behalf of our financial institution clients. We also maintain an extensive proprietary database of industry and private market capital sources to ensure that your transaction will be widely distributed.

It is important to us that our clients understand their transaction and the many options available to them in today's sophisticated corporate finance environment. Our core strength is in the middle-market, unlike the billion dollar transactions that are coveted on Wall Street. This concentration allows us to provide high levels of customer service that may not be available at large investment banking institutions. At the same time, our professionals' multidisciplinary backgrounds are instrumental in structuring transactions and finding hidden sources of value for our clients.

We actively follow industry trends and capital market activity in a number of important financial sectors, including:

  • Insurance & Insurance Services
  • Depository Institutions
  • Finance and Leasing Companies
  • Broker Dealers / Asset Managers
  • Business Services and Financial Technology
