Rewind: Jon Finger | The Benefits of Building Relationships with Independent Sponsors

M&A Masters

Today on M&A Masters, we’re rewinding my interview with Jon Finger, a Partner at McGuireWoods in Dallas. The reason I want to take you back to this show is because of the unique things Jon’s practice is bringing to the M&A space. They were the first to dedicate themselves to introducing independent sponsors to their capital partners.

Jon says, “As we were building the network, and our practice was evolving, what we like to think was our secret sauce was our ability to introduce investment opportunities to our network of capital partners.”

Listen, as I rewind this episode of Jon walking us through:

• The lightbulb moment that led to the discovery of their secret sauce
• How independent sponsors differ from private equity investors and how they're bringing greater value to their capital partner relationships.
• Creative solutions to offloading the friction in deals (including his use of rep and warranty insurance)
