Kaufman Rossin Targets Private Equity Market with New Dedicated Practice

The new unit, Kaufman Rossin PE, provides support throughout the entire investment lifecycle. Services range from initial deal screening and acquisition due diligence to post-acquisition value creation and final exit strategies. Beyond deal support, the practice handles operational requirements for fund managers, including accounting, regulatory compliance, and fund wind-downs.

CEO Marc Feigelson emphasized that the firm’s independence allows it to offer a long-term partnership model that competitors owned by PE firms cannot replicate. By keeping client data and strategy within an independent firm, the team removes the risk of sharing sensitive information with entities answerable to rival sponsors. The practice focuses on sectors including healthcare, life sciences, software-as-a-service, and manufacturing.

Lead partner Michael Fletcher noted that the firm’s existing experience with hundreds of founder-owned businesses provides a natural advantage. Because the company already consults with the types of businesses PE funds frequently target for acquisition, the team brings established insights into the specific operational needs of these companies. The firm maintains a physical presence across Florida and New York, serving as a member of the global Praxity alliance.
