Juniper specializes in healthcare and nonprofit advisory work. We have no underwriting, trading, or other proprietary activities. Our business is assisting the Boards of Directors and executive leadership teams understand their strategic options and to plan and execute complex strategic partnerships. This allows us to offer advice that is free of distraction and without bias toward outcome. This focus, as well as our deep experience and understanding of the nonprofit and healthcare sectors, have allowed us to advise on many of the largest and most noteworthy change-of-control transactions in these fields.
