2026 April Chairmans Letter

In this month’s Chairman’s Letter, BoyarMiller Chairman Chris Hanslik shares insights on the current business climate and what it means for companies operating in Texas and beyond. As economic pressures, inflation, shifting markets, and global instability continue to influence decision-making, business leaders are being challenged to think strategically about growth, risk, and long-term planning. While uncertainty remains, Houston’s economy continues to show resilience and momentum. From leading the state in new business formations to being recognized as the top city for manufacturing with nearly $127 billion generated in 2024, Houston is proving that diversification and innovation are driving new opportunities across industries. Chris also highlights four BoyarMiller transactions named finalists for the ACG Houston Chapter Deal of the Year Awards, reflecting the strength of the firm’s Corporate M&A practice and the trust placed in its team: Acquisition of Ludy Home Improvement Group by Mosaic Service Partners (Alpine Investors portfolio company) Acquisition of Optimal Wireless by Sun Com Mobile Acquisition of Moffitt Holdings by Main Street Capital Corporation Acquisition of National Sealants & Lubricants by Bron Tapes Additionally, BoyarMiller welcomes Caleb Wood (Real Estate Associate) and Lindsey Yasso (Corporate M&A Of Counsel), further strengthening the firm’s ability to serve clients across key practice areas. In a market that continues to shift, the focus remains clear: helping businesses navigate complexity, manage risk, and seize opportunities with confidence. If you’re thinking about the next chapter of your company’s growth, we welcome the conversation.
