This deal demonstrates our deep experience with middle-market mergers and acquisitions and our reputation as deal closers who understand technology,” said Joe Volman, partner and co-chair of the firm’s Corporate group. “Podcasting is an evolving sector and Midroll is well-positioned to continue to grow and lead the industry.” Burns & Levinson’s Corporate group represents clients, either as buyers or sellers, in mergers, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, divestitures, liquidations, and reorganization transactions.
