Solaris is highly focused. We provide only advisory services. Our activities centre on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and private financings and our business is centred on privately held, successful, mid-sized businesses.

Solaris’ partners are highly experienced.  We have been active in mid-market investment banking activities for the significant majority of our careers and have worked together as a team for many years.

Solaris is an independent corporate finance and M&A advisory firm owned solely by its working partners.  Each partner has a major economic stake in every Solaris transaction.  The successful completion of each mandate is therefore of the utmost importance to all of us.

Our knowledge of the North American private capital markets and M&A transactions provides for an effective transaction process and the maximization of shareholder value.  We have strong relationships throughout the North American private equity community and have a reputation for bringing attractive transactions to the market and executing to very high standards.

Solaris’ fee structure is very much success driven, with the vast majority of our compensation being paid only when the transaction closes.  Therefore, we are driven to select our assignments carefully and to “finish what we start.”
