Nolan in 1976, Nolan is a second-generation, family-owned business with deep Midwestern roots. Over nearly five decades, the firm has built a strong reputation for steady leadership, long-term relationships, and trusted advice during critical business transitions. Upon closing, Nolan will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Commerce Bank.<\/p>\n<p>The two firms have built a relationship grounded in mutual trust and a shared commitment to client service, creating strong alignment leading to this transaction. Commerce intends to retain Nolan\u2019s employees and office, ensuring continuity for both clients and employees.<\/p>\n<p>This acquisition adds differentiated investment banking capabilities to Commerce\u2019s existing commercial and wealth platforms, enhancing the bank\u2019s ability to support clients at pivotal moments in their business lifecycle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the addition of Nolan, we are expanding our ability to serve business owners through some of the most important decisions they will make\u2014whether that\u2019s growing, acquiring, or transitioning their business,\u201d said Bob Holmes, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Commerce Bank \u2013 St. Louis. \u201cThis strengthens our ability to deliver a more seamless, end-to-end experience for our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By integrating Nolan\u2019s investment banking experience, Commerce will provide clients with a more connected relationship\u2014from building and scaling a business to transitioning ownership and managing personal wealth. The acquisition also strengthens Commerce\u2019s ability to attract, retain, and deepen relationships with commercial and wealth clients by broadening the solutions it offers.<\/p>\n<p>For the Nolan team, joining Commerce provides access to a broader platform, including expanded client relationships, additional capital markets capabilities, and enhanced resources to support combined growth. It also creates new opportunities for collaboration across Commerce\u2019s commercial and wealth businesses, while preserving Nolan\u2019s entrepreneurial culture and client-focused approach.<\/p>\n<p>Nolan will also benefit from Commerce\u2019s broader geographic footprint and strong market presence, creating additional opportunities to originate and advise on transactions while deepening relationships with business owners approaching key transition points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoining Commerce is an exciting next chapter for our firm,\u201d said Patrick Nolan, President, Nolan &amp; Associates. \u201cWe\u2019ve built Nolan &amp; Associates on long-term relationships, trusted advice, and a strong commitment to our clients and community. Commerce shares those same values and a relationship-driven culture, which made this a natural fit. We\u2019re proud to continue serving our clients with the same team and approach, now backed by the broader capabilities and reach of Commerce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCombining forces with Commerce enables us to remain deeply committed to our family-owned business clients, while accelerating the growth of our private equity services practice,\u201d said Brett Pantazi, Managing Director, Nolan &amp; Associates. \u201cWe are thrilled to partner with the Commerce Bank team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of the deal, Commerce Bank will acquire Middle-Market Transactions, Inc.
