Government Services Investment Banking

Over a decade of experience put to work.

Raymond James has an experienced team of investment bankers and research analysts focused on services and technology companies serving the federal, state & local, and commercial markets. Through the years, we have built a network of industry relationships by focusing on creating long-term value for clients. Our senior bankers stay involved in each transaction, providing hands-on expertise that has helped make us one of the industry’s leading investment banks. An important focus for the practice is research, led by a 12-year industry veteran and former U.S. Air Force captain who covers companies focused on both government-related services and technologies.
