Harris Williams, a global investment bank specializing in M&A advisory services, announces it advised Technical Safety Services (TSS), a portfolio company of The Edgewater Funds (Edgewater) and JZ Partners (JZ), on its sale to Levine Leichtman Capital Partners (LLCP).

“It has been a pleasure working with the TSS team on this transaction,” said Luke Semple, a managing director in the Harris Williams Energy, Power & Infrastructure (EPI) Group. “Their ability to deliver critical, highly technical services has enabled them to become a vital partner for customers operating essential life sciences and healthcare facilities, and it has positioned TSS as a premier platform in its industry.”
