Working with Chapin and the team at 48North has been a fantastic experience for us at First Legal. They bring a palpable energy and exuberance to their work that’s contagious. They’re reliable, accessible, and, more importantly, just great people. When we first partnered together, we didn’t have a deep history in M&A. They’ve been invaluable as we’ve built out our M&A engine and sharpened our acumen, guiding us every step of the way.

They’re instantly likable and have created a really fertile environment for us by developing authentic relationships with potential sellers. There’s a sincerity about them that truly resonates in the market. I couldn’t be happier with the results so far and have complete confidence in how they represent us.

Over the last two years, I have never once viewed 48North as a hired buyside advisor. Rather, they have truly become an extension of our team, effectively serving as our in-house business development function. The team’s ability not only to uncover some of the most attractive leads in the category, but also to serve as a sounding board throughout the negotiation process, has proven integral to our efforts to scale both Guild and Galaxy.

As we launch our new platforms, we’re fortunate to have 48North as our deal sourcing partner. Their entrepreneurial mindset and persistent execution have accelerated our acquisition pace while enabling us to remain disciplined on both quality and price. Our relationship with the entire 48North team is exceptional, and we deeply appreciate the value they continue to bring to our platform development.

Partnering with 48North has been one of the most impactful decisions we’ve made at Goodturn. The team doesn’t approach their work as an outsourced provider — they take it personally. They represent us thoughtfully with sellers, go above and beyond to get deals done, and consistently operate with urgency and integrity. I’ve never worked with a buyside firm that is as hardworking and focused on exceeding client expectations. There is no one better in the business.

48North has been a critical extension of our team. They have seamlessly adapted into our M&A workflows and embody how we want to do business. Moreover, they are real people that want to do business and treat others the right way. It would be hard to recommend a firm more highly.
