In April, 2014, a team of Hutchinson Black and Cook lawyers led by Carla Sledge assisted in the acquisition of Advanced Oilfield Services, Inc. and Raptor Industries, Inc. in a transaction valued in excess of $30M. Advanced Oilfield Services, Inc. and Raptor Industries, Inc. are leading providers of oilfield production facility services and supplies in Colorado and six other states. With an eye on future growth, the companies attracted the interest of a successful New York-based private equity firm with significant experience in the energy industry. The buyer entity will continue to offer the same excellent services to the companies' customers.
