Shannon Zollo 

Shannon is a subject matter expert on M&A. He provided counsel in a thoughtful, strategic manner. He is extremely ethical. I highly recommend him. 

Expert level deal maker and negotiator. 

He is experienced with PE backed companies, and can go head to head with attorneys on the other side. He anticipated their next steps and provided us with very good strategic and tactical advice. 

Ability to quickly assess relevant issues and present solutions. 

Listened to our goals for the M&A and drove the deal to meet those goals and in our favor as much as possible.
