Two CMM Transactions Named Finalist for Deal of the Year Awards

Ramsey Goodrich, Managing Partner of CMM, explained "It is especially gratifying to represent an industry leader with a proven management team in a synergistic transaction which creates a global powerhouse in the physical security, surveillance and intelligent transportation systems industries. We wish ComNet's team continued success with this new partnership with ACRE and LLR."

CMM served as the exclusive financial advisor to SavATree in its sale of a majority interest to an affiliate of the New York-based private equity firm CI Capital Partners that closed in July of 2017. SavATree is a leading provider of tree, shrub and lawn care services headquartered in Bedford Hills, New York. Michael Carter, Managing Partner of CMM, explained, "SavATree has built an impressive company that will continue to grow both organically and through acquisitions. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with both CI Capital and SavATree management and we wish the team continued success."
