Viper Equity Partners Brings on Industry-Leading In-House Counsel and Private Equity Valuation Veteran
Christopher Ryan and Michael Feeley are the latest addition to the Viper team
PALM BEACH, Fla., July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Viper Equity Partners, the country's leading transition consultation firm in the dental, dermatology, and plastic surgery industries, has added two senior hires to the team.
Michael Feeley, CFA, MBA, joins as Senior M&A Analyst, and Christopher J. Ryan, Esq., is the new General Counsel. Feeley and Ryan are located at Viper's main location in North Palm Beach, Fla., where they lead Viper's Post-LOI Closing Division, tracking deals to close and further adding value to Viper's clients.
Both bring success and experience to the Viper team. Prior to joining Viper, Feeley's career included over 12 years of privately held and publicly traded business valuations within the professional services and medical practice industries.
"Viper has a great advantage because they have done many deals and have a profound understanding of the process," Feeley mentions. "This allows the team to provide value others can't compete with."
He brings a unique combination of skills to Viper, including financial accounting analysis, economic and industry forecasting, financial modeling, investment research and attribution analysis.
Ryan also brings distinct expertise to his role as general counsel. Prior to joining the Viper team, Ryan was a partner in a successful general practice law firm in West Palm Beach, where he represented and advised high-net-worth individuals and businesses involved in a wide range of transactions and civil litigation matters.
He has vast experience closing transactions on both the buyer's and seller's sides. "I look forward to being part of Viper's successful team and contributing to that success," Ryan says.
"This move allows key staff members to migrate into new positions," states Viper Principal David C. Branch.
"Having an in-house transaction attorney working directly with our clients and a seasoned M&A analyst defending our valuations post-LOI will be a significant advantage in streamlining the closing process. This is just another example of Viper adding value to the process."
