McLeod Law LLP acted as lead transactional counsel to PBS Systems, a Canadian‑based technology company, on its acquisition of Dealer Image Pro, a U.S. software and digital solutions provider.

Completed earlier this year, the transaction represents a significant strategic investment and strengthens our client’s technology platform through the integration of advanced software, proprietary digital tools, and an established customer base serving markets across North America.

The McLeod Law team, including S (Rishi) Chakraborty, Ivana Palacios, and Liam Phipps, advised PBS Systems throughout this highly complex cross‑border transaction, from early structuring through negotiation and closing.

Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr, P.C. acted as US Counsel to PBS Systems, Dresner Partners acted as exclusive financial advisor to Dealer Image Pro, and Harris Sliwoski LLP served as legal counsel to Dealer Image Pro.

✅ Where government spending and procurement are actually flowing
✅ How companies should be positioning now—before the RFPs land
