“The team at Navagant definitely exceeded our expectations in the journey of our transaction. We had so many defining moments that could have been detrimental to the process without Jacob’s extensive knowledge and experience. No one could have done a better job than Jacob’s team in helping us prepare the documents for due diligence. We truly appreciate their passion and effort in getting the maximum value for the company.”
