Bloomfield Hills-based litigation risk management, forensic accounting, capital advisory, and turnaround solutions firm O’Keefe has been acquired by Province, a restructuring and financial advisory company in Las Vegas. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“This is an exciting new chapter for O’Keefe,” says Pat O’Keefe, founder and CEO of O’Keefe. “We have built our reputation on a foundation of delivering trusted guidance through complex financial and legal matters, and we look forward to working with a partner in Province that shares our values, culture of excellence, and client-first philosophy.
“Under Province’s wing, O’Keefe is now well positioned to make a greater impact by delivering our best-in-class solutions to an expanded client-base.”
With 16 advisory professionals, O’Keefe brings decades of expertise counseling companies and their creditors on a wide range of complex financial and legal situations. O’Keefe’s practice is expected to seamlessly integrate alongside Province’s restructuring and credit advisory businesses to expand the comprehensive multi-disciplinary services offered to clients.
“This partnership represents a significant step in our commitment to solidifying Province’s position as a top-tier financial advisory and consulting firm,” says Oren Young, partner and CFO at Province. “O’Keefe’s exceptional brand reputation and litigation advisory expertise complement our credentials as an international leader in the advisory space.
“The culture O’Keefe embodies matches our own commitment to achieving successful outcomes for our clients and we are excited to leverage our pooled capabilities and expertise to further elevate our service offering and expand our market reach.”
The combination of Province’s suite of multi-disciplinary services and O’Keefe’s targeted litigation advisory expertise, strong presence in the Midwest, and an established referral network, is expected to enhance the advisory offering of both firms by leveraging cross-trained professionals capable of supporting across complementary practice areas.
“This partnership further accelerates the strong organic growth we have seen since joining forces with Province, and marks an important milestone in our goal of developing the firm’s brand as a destination for top-talent and strategic acquirer of choice for other top advisory firms,” says Mario R. Masrieh, managing director at Trivest Partners, a major Province investor.
“Pat and the O’Keefe team embody the same ‘will-to-win’ culture that has come to define success at both Trivest and Province, and we are thrilled to welcome them into the Province family.”
