Mark and his colleagues have built something that uniquely sits at the intersection of contested situations, corporate governance and machine learning – making them an ideal complement to our areas of expertise. We look forward to working with InvestorSight to deepen the insights we offer clients and further integrate AI across our own firm.” – Dan Zacchei, Managing Partner, Longacre Square Partners
