Allegiance Capital Corporation, an investment bank that provides M&A advisory and capital-raising services to privately-held, middle-market companies, announced today a professional alliance with Infinity Financial Group, a boutique investment bank with offices in Texas and Oklahoma.

“Infinity Financial has built significant relationships within the mid-stream oil and gas sector that complement Allegiance Capital’s energy practice,” said David Mahmood, Chairman of Allegiance Capital.  “Additionally, we’re pleased to be able to tap Dan Flick’s corporate finance experience and relationships.”

Flick, Managing Partner of Infinity Financial Group, has more than 25 years experience placing debt and equity finance in industries ranging from consumer products to financial services. In addition, Flick has experience in aviation services, metal recycling, and wireless infrastructure development and finance.  Flick and Mahmood have collaborated on transactions in the past and believe their combined offering is a strong one for the middle-market.

“Allegiance Capital’s cross-border deal experience and nationwide footprint bring us new scalability and scope,” said Flick. “And we’re looking forward to collaborating on deals in the energy sector where both firms have significant experience.”

Allegiance Capital has closed multiple transactions within the past 18 months in upstream oil and gas, oilfield services, renewable energy and transmission and distribution. Infinity Financial’s focus is on mid-stream oil and gas companies in the following categories:

• Pipeline construction and maintenance
