Massumi + Consoli, a California-based boutique that handles complex mid-market private equity and M&A work, has launched an office in Dallas led by firm co-founder Anthony “Tony” Consoli, who has moved to Dallas, as the firm eyes opportunity in financial centers across the country.

“We always view private equity and M&A as our core practice area, and outside of Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and maybe Chicago, Dallas was the next logical step. The private equity scene in Dallas has really exploded over the last couple years,” Consoli said.
