Samson Partners Expands Platform With Launch of Samson Partners Capital and Key Leadership Appointments

CHICAGO, Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Samson Partners Group today announced the launch of Samson Partners Capital, a new investment banking platform designed to take founder-led businesses to market, along with substantial enhancements to the leadership team driving the growing Samson Partners family of companies.

Together, Samson Partners Group and Samson Partners Capital offer an integrated, founder-first approach to private equity transactions. Samson Partners Group prepares companies for investment by strengthening leadership, operations and financial readiness, while Samson Partners Capital leads transaction execution, investor outreach and deal management through close. The combined platform is built to support founders from early preparation through a successful exit with confidence, clarity and continuity.

Samson Partners Capital is particularly focused on law firms, including personal injury, estate planning, bankruptcy and Am Law 100 platforms, as well as select professional and technical services businesses. Both Samson Partners operations boast long-standing relationships with more than 200 private equity firms and bring an operator's perspective to investor fit, deal structure and post-close success.

"Owners and operators consistently told us they didn't want to hand their business off between disconnected advisors," said Seth Deutsch, founder of the Samson Partners family of companies. "They wanted one coordinated team with a shared strategy and accountability from start to finish. Samson Partners Capital completes that vision, especially with the unmatched caliber of leadership that has joined our organization."

As part of the expansion, Adam Coffey will provide advisory and coaching services to Samson Partners Group's law firm clients. Coffey is a renowned business leader, serial entrepreneur and bestselling author of The Private Equity Playbook, The Exit Strategy Playbook and Empire Builder.

He is the founder of NassarCo Investment Banking and advises clients across EnergyTech, energy, environmental and industrial services.
