Arlington-based Aperture LLC, a portfolio company of Dallas-based Trinity Hunt Partners, announced it has acquired the Pewaukee, Wisconsin-based The BERO Group Inc.
Rick Bero founded The BERO Group in 1995 and chairs the firm’s intellectual property service line, while co-chairing its commercial litigation service offering.
“For almost 30 years, The BERO Group’s commitment to quality, clients, professionalism, and integrity have been the basis for their well-earned reputation,” Robert E. Joyce Jr., CEO and president of Aperture, said in a statement. “Consistently achieving this distinction over such a prolonged period is a remarkable testament to Rick’s leadership, and to the contributions of his brother Ron and Jim McGovern, his two partners.”
He added that the partners’ collective leadership, vision, and thought leadership “are a perfect fit” for Aperture.
Joyce said that the Aperture team was looking forward to working with the new team members “as we continue to unlock the full potential of our company for our clients.”
‘It was clear we were aligned’
Bero and his firm are well known in the forensic expert industry having presented, instructed, and written articles on topics including intangible assets, intellectual property damages, working with experts, and various accounting issues over the course of his career.
He is the author of The Litigator’s Damages Blueprint: The Pragmatic Solution, a guide to his five-step process to help litigators build a strong damages analysis.
“Joining Aperture is an exciting and important step for our entire team. We connected with Colin Baker, Rob Joyce and Jeremy Donelan immediately. It was clear we were aligned. We cannot wait to get started working together,” Rick Bero said in a statement.
