What happens when a consulting firm decides to start leading M&A transactions and, separately, writing checks into the very deals it consults on? Clint Simkins of DPO&Co joins host Greg Hawver to answer that question, tracing the firm's evolution from a strategy consulting shop into a fully integrated platform spanning consulting, QoE and transaction advisory services, principal investing, and a $100 million fund raise.

Everyone is talking about Data Centers. Recently, host Phil Coover mentioned that he was doing a podcast about data centers. “Do you think that this data center thing is a big bubble?” someone asked. “No,” he replied. “That implies that the demand will somehow go away, causing it to pop. This demand isn't going away.” In order to break down what is really happening in Data Centers, Phil invited two McGuireWoods' colleagues with decades of experience in data center real estate, incentives, and government affairs: Greg Riegle, co-leader of the Real Estate Transactions Group and head of its data center practice, and Chris Lloyd, senior vice president and director of Infrastructure and Economic Development at McGuireWoods Consulting. “I don't know that there's been a more – pick your adjective – ‘interesting,' ‘dynamic,' or ‘challenging' time with respect to the data center industry,” Greg says. Tune in for the panelists' insights about the data center epicenter in Virginia, factors that a community must take into account when inviting a data center (like water consumption), and communities that are navigating the opportunity, like DeKalb, Illinois.

Marilyn Adler and Liddy Karter identified a gap where credit fund managers were getting larger and the lower middle market was getting ignored.
