"This strategic merger enables us to capitalize on the synergies between the two firms' middle-market expertise, especially in the areas of entertainment, real estate, high-net-worth individuals and healthcare, and is well-aligned with our expansion strategy in the Northeast," said J.H. Cohn chief executive Thomas J. Marino, in a statement.
