Alliant-Mesirow coming to theaters near you?

Alliant Insurance Services is acquiring Mesirow’s insurance business for an undisclosed sum so they can say they have offices in the East and West Coast. Well, that’s one reason. Mesirow will get an equity stake in Alliant and the insurance services unit will continue to operate under its existing leadership in Mesirow’s Chicago headquarters. Bottom Line: Keeping the Mesirow brand, for now.
