We specialize in helping family-and-founder-held businesses.  We recognize that the sale of an asset that may have been in a family for generations comes with emotional and financial repercussions.  Families often need more time to discuss the outcomes of a transaction among themselves.  They may need additional assistance understanding the various terms and conditions involved in a transaction.  TKO Miller professionals are prepared to spend the time necessary to assist in a transaction that works for our clients.

As a result of the diverse backgrounds of our accomplished M&A professionals, we have developed mergers and acquisitions expertise in certain industry areas.  These areas of M&A expertise include:
