Our role in the transaction

Oaklins’ team in Dallas supported the transaction.

Parties
“My partner Paul Gibbs and I worked hard to build a company founded on quality service and great people. It was important for us to find a buyer that matched our values and provided a great opportunity for growth. The team in Jacksonville were instrumental in preparing our firm to go to market and conducting a search for buyers aligned with our long-term goals. When they found a great fit with Tecta, they led our management and advisory team to move to close efficiently and effectively. This is a process that required expertise that the Oaklins team brought to the table, and we were thankful to have them at our side every step of the way.”
