Jackson Walker L.L.P. represented Austin-based PMB Helin Donovan in its recent merger with Dallas-based Vink Teague & Associates. The deal marks the latest development in PMB Helin Donovan’s plan to expand through strategic acquisitions into one of the nation’s top 100 accounting firms.

PMB Helin Donovan already ranks as one of the largest accounting firms in Austin. In 2011, the firm expanded its Houston presence through the acquisition of McEvoy & Co. The purchase of Vink Teague provides a similar opportunity in Dallas, enabling the firm to triple its staff with the goal of having 50 accountants in Dallas within the next four years. In addition to Texas, PMB Helin Donovan has offices in San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, and Spokane, Wash.

Jackson Walker attorney Mike Meskill represented PMB Helin Donovan in the transaction. A member of Jackson Walker’s Corporate & Securities group with extensive experience in a wide variety of M&A transactions, Mr. Meskill provided strategic planning and focused, efficient representation for his client in the deal.
