Industry Experience
Having been an industry specialist for 8 years, Michael Jacobs learned that the client’s needs are best served by a generalist (see Mergers & Acquisitions). Industry specialists return to the same buyers repeatedly, which creates significant conflicts of interest. Knowledge of and access to buyers is not a problem in today’s M&A market. Maintaining an uncompromising commitment to the client’s agenda regardless of who the buyer is has become a problem for nearly every industry-focused firm. Nevertheless, some industry familiarity can be a plus. Jacobs Capital has served clients in the following industries:
