CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 20, 2016—Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC (DCF) acted as exclusive financial advisor to The Medicus Firm, LLC, a leading provider of physician recruitment services, in its sale to M3 USA (M3), a subsidiary of M3, Inc. The sale closed on Dec. 31, 2015.

“The Deloitte Corporate Finance team was invaluable in helping us navigate a successful transaction with M3. Their collective knowledge of the staffing and recruitment services industry, transactional experience in the health care provider space, and international reach were key to the process,” said Jim Stone, president, The Medicus Firm.

With the demand for health care services on the rise and the pool of qualified health care talent trying to keep up, employers are relying heavily on recruiting firms like The Medicus Firm to manage the challenge. Helping The Medicus Firm partner with M3 to further address the demands of the industry was a rewarding experience.
