Seaport adds Perison and team for special situations, restructuring

By Toni Weeks

San Diego, May 3 - Seaport Group announced in a press release that Eben Paul Perison and his team of advisory professionals have joined the firm to build out its special situations and restructuring group.

Formerly the head of restructuring as well as head of gaming and lodging at Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., Perison has spent over 20 years advising clients in restructurings, work-outs, reorganizations, financings and mergers and acquisitions across a broad range of industries. Prior to Oppenheimer, Perison was a managing director for Fortress Investment Group and former co-head of investment banking for Libra Securities.

The special situations team will operate out of Seaport's New York and Los Angeles offices.

"Given our vast experience and expertise in the sales and trading of high-yield and distressed opportunities, the acquisition of a top-tier special situations advisory team was a natural fit for our business," Michael Meagher, co-founder of Seaport Group, said in the release.

"Mr. Perison and his team provide a broad range of services to middle-market companies, including debt restructuring, capital raising and leveraged finance."

The independent investment bank is based in New York.
