BDO Capital worked closely with us throughout the sale process providing senior level advice, generating numerous attractive offers from top tier strategic and financial buyers, and leading negotiations that resulted in a transaction that far exceeded our initial expectations. We had been approached by a strategic buyer interested in acquiring our business, but were not sure that was the best course for us. BDO Capital did an outstanding job representing us in the broader market and producing many strategic alternatives for us to consider. BDO Capital was invaluable in achieving an exceptional outcome for the shareholders, and positioning TrialGraphix with the best buyer to partner with in pursuing continued growth and success.

Guy Joubert
Managing Partner of Resonant Legal Media, LLC DBA TrialGraphix

BDO Capital was an invaluable partner to us throughout the process. They understood what makes our company truly special and were highly effective at delivering that message to the marketplace. The transaction process can be grueling at times with many twists and turns, and no matter what transpired I knew I could rely on BDO for a no-nonsense answer and to always help bring things into perspective when needed. They are experts at what they do and proved to be the right investment banking team to guide us through this important milestone.
