Our Impact

We believe that a diverse culture energizes the best and brightest talent from all backgrounds and enables us to bring innovative solutions to our clients.

We strive to provide lawyers from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to succeed and to reward team members for the unique perspectives and ideas they bring to the table.

This approach is instrumental in cultivating an environment where attorneys and business professionals at all levels can collaborate and make meaningful contributions, and we believe that the existence of such an environment is the cornerstone for both the professional advancement of our team members and our ability to provide optimal results to our clients.

We appreciate opportunities to work alongside institutions that embrace this same way of thinking so that we can foster deeper connections and continue to learn from the inspiring people we work with every day.

We go beyond our firm to promote access to opportunity and give back to the communities in which we live and work.

Our approach to creating opportunities to succeed extends beyond our own personnel. It also involves civic work with non-profits and other strategic partners who focus on providing individuals who have faced unique challenges with access to the resources and tools required for a successful career as leaders in law and finance.

For example, we are strong supporters of Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO), a non-profit that seeks to provide students from underserved communities with a path to undergraduate and graduate-level opportunities, as well as the Toigo Foundation, a non-profit that aims to develop talented and diverse leadership through its graduate fellowship program.

Our lawyers also teach and volunteer at the UCLA and USC law schools, and the firm actively supports the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), a global education non-profit that brings the power of entrepreneurship to youth in low-income communities.

Community engagement is important to Massumi + Consoli, within our industry and beyond. We are a member of the American Investment Council (AIC) and participate in its support for various civic service organizations and non-profits. We also contribute to organizations that reflect our firm’s values in their pursuit of helping those from underserved communities or helping individuals overcome challenges, including All For Kids, a non-profit focused on improving child abuse prevention, foster care and adoption.

Our Mission

Middle market private equity and strategic transactions require sophisticated counsel from top legal minds, but many traditional law firms fall short as an effective solution for middle market needs.

Larger law firms often prioritize a different category of transactions, allocating less talent and attentiveness to middle market work while still charging a significant premium. At the other end of the spectrum, smaller firms with less subject matter expertise often lack the knowledge, capabilities and depth required to appropriately navigate complex deals.

We focus specifically on the middle market, with a refined and well-tested approach for executing these deals thoughtfully.

At Massumi + Consoli, we present a new model to fill the gap for the middle market by delivering the expertise and experience that sophisticated transactions demand with the exceptional service and attention that each matter deserves. Our clients have deeply appreciated this new way of partnering with their legal team.

We offer a focused, coordinated team that:

brings both strong instinct and deep expertise
moves quickly and efficiently and offers creativity
provides a thoughtful and considered approach for each deal and each client
values attentiveness and the personal day-to-day experience

Our Expertise

Our team delivers the quality and talent of a multi-generational law firm practice, with the ambition and energy of a group still building its legacy.

We offer full-service capabilities for clients across the full suite of middle market transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, growth equity and debt financing, along with fund formation and litigation and dispute resolution. We also provide comprehensive in-house coverage for the core transactional specialty practice areas of tax, intellectual property, cyber security, data privacy, executive compensation, employee benefits, labor and employment and environmental, health and safety.

Passion is contagious, and our team is driven by a desire to deliver the highest level of expertise and client service for middle market transactions. We are genuinely motivated by the work that we do, and we want to be the best that do it. We have taken great care to develop our team with individuals who share this enthusiasm for excellence and believe in our mission of providing a better model and better value for clients.

Private equity is at our foundation.

We have a long track record of working with private equity sponsors of all sizes to execute their transactions in the middle market.

Our rich history of private equity transactional experience puts us in a unique position to deliver a more effective and efficient process for sponsors.

Our practice spans all industries, as our focus is centered around functional expertise in middle market transactions for sponsors and other sophisticated dealmakers and working with these clients to secure optimal outcomes.

From fund formation and acquisition to exit, we possess a deep understanding of the core stages of the private equity lifecycle across the varied sectors in which our clients invest, and we tailor our advice accordingly.

Our client-centric approach to project management allows you to stay informed, with a clear understanding of where the process stands at any time, along with any action required. Responsiveness is a core tenet of our client service, and you’ll appreciate that we are available when needed.

We also understand the importance of open, candid communication and encourage your feedback on how we can continually adapt our service to best suit your needs.

We see every matter and interaction as a meaningful opportunity to deepen our partnerships with our clients.

While we believe that we provide service and expertise superior to that found elsewhere in the market, we truly distinguish ourselves with our commitment to being a partner in pursuing your goals. We focus on building long-term relationships and prioritize your satisfaction over our own short-term business objectives.

At the beginning of each relationship, we take the time to learn your business strategy and your investment philosophy, gaining a deeper understanding of your target industries, priorities and sensitivities.

We favor practical business judgment and direct answers to questions when providing guidance and advice.

Our lawyers are thorough and creative, while business-oriented and practical. This translates to advice that moves beyond the theoretical into concise, actionable counseling to help propel your team forward.

Drawing from our deep experience, our guidance is centered on balancing business and legal issues and taking extra steps to appreciate key value drivers and the investment thesis behind each transaction to keep workstreams moving efficiently while properly calibrating risks. We aim to be invaluable members of your team who move things forward rather than slow things down.
