As Massumi + Consoli approaches its 10th anniversary, the private equity boutique is preparing for its next phase of growth. Founded by Peter Massumi and Anthony Consoli, who both previously held positions at Kirkland & Ellis, the firm specializes in mid-market M&A deals, counting heavyweight clients like Oaktree Capital Management and Monogram Capital Partners among its clientele. The firm aims to gain more traction in a sector dominated by large law firms that handle high-volume deals.
According to a recent interview with Peter Massumi, the firm is gearing up to “take bigger bets” and “expand more aggressively” in the competitive legal landscape. The firm is looking to capture a part of the substantial deals work, a space generally monopolized by industry giants such as Kirkland & Ellis. At this stage in their journey, Massumi + Consoli is eyeing opportunities to leverage its expertise and niche focus to carve out a more significant share of the mid-market deal space, a segment that has reached $331 billion through the third quarter of this year.
The mid-market is a critical segment for many corporations and private equity firms, especially in sectors where high-value deals dominate. However, with massive law firms leaving little room for competitors, the challenge for firms like Massumi + Consoli lies in distinguishing themselves through specialized services and niche expertise. As they draw closer to their decade milestone, the firm’s leaders are strategically positioning themselves for sustained growth and relevance in a crowded field.
