Comvest Partners, through its direct lending strategy, Comvest Capital, announced that the Firm has opened an office in New York City to complement its existing presence in West Palm Beach, Chicago and Los Angeles. Comvest's New York expansion comes at a significant time in its 17-year history.

Dan Lee, Partner at Comvest Capital, has relocated to New York. Lee began working with Comvest Capital in December 2011 and has been an important part in the growth of the direct lending platform.

Robert O'Sullivan, Managing Partner at Comvest Capital stated, "The decision to expand our presence into New York was a logical next step in our strategy to grow the business. The team will continue to identify business partners, build stronger relationships and establish a growing presence in this important market."
