InTandem Capital Partners, LLC (“InTandem Capital” or the “Firm”), a healthcare services focused private equity firm, announced today that it has partnered with the founders and management team of Adams Clinical (the “Company”), a renowned clinical trial site network with locations across the Northeast that conducts independent evaluations of drugs to treat psychiatric and neurologic illnesses.

Founded in 2011 in Watertown, Massachusetts, Adams Clinical has established itself as a market leader through its clinical trial participant recruiting acumen, which has resulted in longstanding relationships with study sponsors across the industry.
