Mesirow Financial's Investment Banking division is comprised of three business lines: Sale-Leaseback, Corporate Investment Banking and Public Finance. While each is unique in their specialized services, one characteristic remains constant throughout the businesses: extensive experience and superior service.

• Our Sale-Leaseback professionals have a combined 100 years of industry experience, positioning Mesirow Financial among the national leaders in this niche industry.
• We are a leading investment banking firm focused on the middle-market. Our recent transactions demonstrate an unmatched breadth and depth of service.
• The Public Finance team is top ranked among regional investment banking firms with both public and private sector entity clients.

As the cornerstone of our efforts, our philosophy is to focus on creating and implementing cost-effective, long-term answers to your financial needs.

For Institutions and Public Sector Entities:

Public Finance: Our Public Finance group focuses on three primary capacities: debt management, fixed income asset management and financial advisory. As both an advisor and underwriter, we have a solid reputation for our expertise in all aspects of the investment process.

For Corporations:

Corporate Investment Banking: At Mesirow Financial, our professionals can help provide creative solutions to the issues that are unique to middle-market businesses. We provide a full range of services, including mergers & acquisitions, private placements, recaptilizations, and public offerings.

Sale-Leaseback Transactions: Our Sale-Leaseback professionals can help you utilize this capital management tool that allows corporations to unlock significant pools of corporate capital tied up in real estate and at the same time continue to use and control essential real estate.

For Individuals:

1031 Exchanges: Many individuals with large real estate holdings are interested in disposing of property, but are faced with many complicated legal obligations that could potentially minimize value. Section 1031 of the tax code allows you to defer capital gains taxes and depreciation recapture if you re-invest sale proceeds in other property. Our Sale-Leaseback professionals offer exchange properties tailored to your needs to satisfy the technical terms to achieve this deferral.
