Strategic Alliances

Blackmore Partners seeks to provide our clients an enhanced array of financial advisory services. Many of these services are related to transactions we work on, but are not offered by us directly. In recognition of this need, we have built a strategic alliance program. This program offers our clients access to specific leading financial and related services firms, including investment and commercial banks, finance companies, private equity and debt funds, hedge funds, venture capital funds, law firms, and accounting firms which are regularly engaged in executing M&A transactions.
