## Story

GA Group, which is backed by Oaktree Capital Management, has acquired Trampe Settles, a Dallas-based family law litigation support firm. No financial terms were disclosed.

GA Group is a provider of financial advisory, valuation, asset disposition, and investment banking services.

The acquisition brings a four-person team led by Brian Trampe. Prior to co-founding Trampe Settles, he led the family law forensics, litigation and valuation services group at AltaView Advisors and held senior roles at Weaver and other firms.

“Bringing Brian and his team onto the GA platform is a key part of our strategy to build a full service, full lifecycle financial advisory services practice,” said Curt Germany, senior managing director and FAS national practice leader.

“Family law matters often require a combination of technical expertise, responsiveness, and judgment under tight timelines, and Brian has built an impressive practice and reputation in this highly nuanced area.”

Trampe Settles was founded in 2024.
