Alongside our clients and strategic partners, our firm and our industry have weathered challenging market cycles, major regulatory changes, a seismic shift in the way investment banks, institutional investors and brokers operate, and increased demands for investment information and corporate transparency by professional investors.
"Thanks to our experienced and devoted colleagues in Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, we've been able to help our clients navigate this changing landscape – and grow our firm's client list. Ken and I would like to thank all our clients and our colleagues for their support as we look forward to the shared experiences that the next decades have to offer," Lascar said.
