Maynard Cooper & Gale and Nexsen Pruet Form Maynard Nexsen
Fully integrated firms grow clients immediately.
Alabama-based Maynard Cooper & Gale and Carolinas-based Nexsen Pruet amalgamated to form Maynard Nexsen on April 1, 2023.
Jeff Grantham, CEO & Managing Shareholder
Over 550 professionals work in 23 US offices. This merger merges two customer-centered organisations focused on expanding in high-growth, high-opportunity markets with expanded client service offerings.
“This merger represents the union of two firms that have experienced growth and momentum over the past several years.” said Jeff Grantham, CEO and Managing Shareholder. “Now, we move forward as one, accelerating that growth through the synergies that come with an expanded geographic footprint, a deepening of expertise and talent, and an even greater commitment to our collective client-first approach.”
Leighton Lord, President & Chief Strategy Officer
Immediate referrals between the amalgamated firms have grown clientele. The new Maynard Nexsen team engaged when an Alabama business client announced a $130 million investment in South Carolina.
“I am incredibly excited to officially begin our work under the Maynard Nexsen name,” said Leighton Lord, President and Chief Strategy Officer. “Maynard Nexsen’s client-centered culture and bold entrepreneurial spirit are the driving forces behind our combined vision for growth. With our new bench strength and expertise, we are already better serving our clients with the same value proposition.”
