Dresner Partners Expands East Coast Presence With New York Office at 200 Park Avenue

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jun 7, 2012) - Dresner Partners, a leading FINRA-registered, middle-market investment bank and IMAP member firm, is expanding its East Coast presence by establishing an office in New York City. The new office, located in the MetLife Building and attached to Grand Central Station, will focus on providing clients with merger and acquisition, capital raising and valuation services on a global scale.

"Establishing a New York office is a necessary step to support our investment banking professionals that are working with clients in the region," said Steven Dresner, President of Dresner Partners. "In addition, as a member of IMAP, with offices in over 30 countries, our East Coast clients will also benefit from our cross-border capabilities which include local market knowledge and expertise in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia and South America. We feel it is critical that our clients have access to strategic opportunities across the globe."

The New York office will be managed by Mitchell Stern, Managing Director. Mr. Stern began his 20-year investment banking career at Salomon Brothers in New York, and held senior positions with Schroder & Co., Needham & Company, Glocap Advisors, SMH Capital and Morgan Joseph.

"In the New York office, we focus on many industry sectors; however, a large portion of my time is spent on healthcare. We are currently working with companies in healthcare services, healthcare IT, medical devices and products, life sciences and nutraceuticals. In addition to healthcare, we have given some focus to the technology, education and consumer spaces. Throughout my career, I have worked on transactions in all areas of the world, ranging in size from $10 million to over $1 billion."
