"His arrival further reinforces our position as a national leader in the middle market private equity space, and we're excited about the value he will add for our clients."

Nathan's addition marks the latest in a series of high-profile hires the Firm has made in New York this year, including David Mannion (Tax), Carmen Wong (Investment Funds), Benjamin Howard (M&A) and Jared Bryant (Debt Finance), and underscores the Firm's strategic intent to grow in markets pivotal to private equity work.

"As the nation's largest financial center, New York City remains a key market for the private equity ecosystem," added Anthony Consoli, the Firm's other co-founder. "We're continuing to strategically bolster our presence in New York by adding top-tier talent like Nathan, who can bring significant private equity experience and expertise directly to our clients doing business in the city."

"The Massumi + Consoli reputation has been rapidly growing in New York as a premier firm with top-tier lawyers," said Nathan. "I'm excited to help build a top-tier growth equity offering."
