Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc., a leading investment banking firm serving middle market companies, today announced the opening of a full service office in Atlanta, at 3475 Piedmont Road, Suite 260. The office will initially be headquarters for nine investment banking professionals serving companies throughout the Southeast as well as other parts of the country.

“Morgan Joseph has over the years dedicated itself to meeting the needs of middle market companies with highly experienced senior professional investment bankers who combine in-depth industry knowledge, broad transactional skills and an intimate understanding of issues facing them,” said James Decker, a Managing Director who heads up the Atlanta office and runs the firm’s Financial Restructuring Group.

“In the current economic and financial environment, with the

investment banking industry contracting and most remaining firms focusing on larger corporations, there is no question that mid-market companies are underserved. Having an office in Atlanta provides us with a strategically important location from which to reach out to many companies across a wide swath of industrial, distribution, retail, medical services and technology businesses, among others, in this vital geographic sector.”

The Atlanta office is the 9th branch operated by Morgan Joseph, which is headquartered in New York City.
