During that time, NorthShore has served as the leading M&A consultant nationwide in the high-consolidation document management industry.
“Since moving its headquarters to Knoxville last summer, NorthShore has positioned itself to provide what no other company based here offers – boutique investment banking services covering a wide range of industries, tailored specifically for the $5-100 million company,” said Mike West, founding partner. “Part of our focus is on identifying industries on the verge of a consolidation movement and using our expertise to manage a significant number of deals.”
NorthShore’s growth has also resulted in new additions and a promotion on the firm’s staff this month, including:
• The promotion of Ben Burrus from senior analyst to a vice president of the firm –
Burrus will continue the firm’s focus on representing buyers/sellers involved in
emerging market consolidations. Burrus first joined NorthShore in early 2006 as a
senior analyst.
• The hiring of Miranda Lay as analyst – A recent graduate of the University of
Tennessee-Knoxville, Lay’s duties include market and industry research, company and
industry analysis, modeling and forecasting. She also assists senior team members
with transactions.
A Knoxville native and former UT varsity football player, West plans to make Knoxville the company’s permanent home and to continue expanding the firm as well as other ventures under the NorthShore Management Company umbrella, of which NorthShore Capital Advisors is a part.
“We see Knoxville as a great place to call home and look forward to being involved in the local community here in meaningful, high-impact ways,” West said.
