Trysten J. Cisney

Trysten is an associate in the Mergers & Acquisitions and Private Equity Groups.

Trysten assists businesses of all types with combinations, divestures, platform and add-on acquisitions, and general corporate matters. He is committed to understanding each client’s risk preferences in order to accomplish the right balance of speed and certainty necessary for any successful deal.
