As we look to the end of 2019, Pircher, Nichols & Meeks LLP (Pircher) is happy to share with you some highlights from a busy third quarter—from industry recognitions for our partners to an “ End of Summer Cocktail Party ” that we hosted in Chicago.
 
Most importantly, we are excited to introduce a new section of  Pircher Pulse  which highlights some notable deals that we have closed in recent months. We hope that you will take the time to check out our new “Deal Spotlights” to see what Pircher has been working on.
