McFarland Dewey has served public and private companies, multinational corporations, entrepreneurs, family-owned businesses, management groups and government entities by providing independent advice on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and recapitalizations. McFarland Dewey also assists in raising capital for our clients as well as securing venture or development capital for a limited number of clients.
McFarland Dewey’s goal is to build enduring, long-term relationships by providing quality service to our clients. We work with management to evaluate and implement strategies that are designed to meet short and long-term needs. Partner participation in each phase of a transaction is a hallmark of our product, and every assignment is regarded as a Firm assignment. Our experience is broad, with our partners applying over 300 years of investment banking experience gained at a number of major investment banks and financial institutions. Our business is not exclusive to any single industry or type of transaction.
McFarland Dewey has worked with over 190 clients in over 300 assignments, since we customarily perform work for clients on a multi-year basis. Most of our corporate clients are in the middle market, with market capitalizations of less than $1.5 billion; however, we have performed assignments for Fortune 1000 companies, including AT&T, TCI, Torstar and Lee Enterprises, and for startup companies that include a comic book publisher, an internet marketing company and a biotech firm specializing in drug delivery systems. McFarland Dewey works with companies in a wide range of industries, including industrial and consumer products, retailing, office products, healthcare, publishing, information and technology.
