"This alliance propels us one step further. The combined industry insight, execution capabilities and transatlantic reach of JMP Bryan Garnier give us a strategic edge, filling a gap in the marketplace and enabling us to offer investment banking services on an international scale that few firms with our sector-specific focus can match."
