Broad Experience Chesapeake's professionals bring to each assignment an extensive background in structuring complex financial transactions. We draw upon years of corporate and institutional experience to effectively identify and address the issues that produce tangible results for our clients. International Expertise Having completed a number of transactions in Europe, Asia and Latin America, the firm's principals are well versed in the complexities and challenges of cross-border transactions. Chesapeake's founding partner spent a number of years with a leading British merchant bank, and each year he and other principals log thousands of international miles serving both U.S. and overseas clients. Long-Term Relationships Chesapeake's ability to offer outstanding financial services to our clients stems from our strong commitment to build long-lasting relationships with our clients. Consistent with this belief, individual transactions are not viewed as ends in and of themselves, but as strategic steps along the road to achieving the client's ultimate objectives.

With responsibilities that encompass everything from dealing with the investment community, to negotiating strategic partnerships, to providing extensive analytical support, Chesapeake's approach frees management to focus on what it does best – running and growing the business.
