GHJ’s Transaction Advisory Services (TAS) Practice acted as the buy-side advisor in Corbel Capital Partners’ (Corbel) investment in International Sports Management, Inc. (ISM), a global leader in sports marketing and event management.

Corbel is a Los Angeles-based independent investment firm with approximately $1 billion in assets under management. The firm provides debt and equity investments to lower middle-market companies seeking a value-add partner to help scale their businesses.

Headquartered in Chicago, ISM specializes in premium sports hospitality, event sponsorship and client consulting. The company delivers customized experiences across major global sporting events.

GHJ provided in-depth financial due diligence, tax diligence, Quality of Earnings analysis, working capital review and purchase agreement review to Corbel. The team’s analysis played a significant role in helping to support a successful transaction outcome.
