Flaster Greenberg is pleased to announce the successful completion of its 6th Annual Mergers & Acquisitions Conference, which brought together more than 200 leading dealmakers, executives, investors, and advisors from across the region for a day of timely insights and meaningful discussion on the current and future state of M&A activity.
Sponsored by M&T Bank, the conference featured a series of engaging panel discussions covering current M&A market trends, key deal terms, and what buyers and sellers can expect in the near future. Panels also explored the risks and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence, evolving due diligence practices, and strategies for identifying and addressing technology and intellectual property issues before closing. In addition, speakers examined real-world lessons from both successful and failed M&A transactions, with a focus on the often-overlooked “soft” issues that can ultimately make or break a deal.
“We are thrilled with the strong turnout and the level of engagement we saw at this year’s conference,” said Tami Bogutz Steinberg, Chair of Flaster Greenberg’s Business Transactions Department. “The conversations were thoughtful, practical, and reflective of the evolving challenges and opportunities facing businesses and deal professionals today. Events like this underscore our commitment to providing meaningful value to our clients and the broader business community.”
Now in its sixth year, Flaster Greenberg’s Annual M&A Conference has become a signature event, recognized for its high-quality programming and its focus on delivering actionable insights. Also new this year, The Deal Hallway, provided additional networking space for connecting, collaborating, and exploring potential next deals.
The firm extends its sincere thanks to the panelists, sponsors, and attendees whose participation made the event a success.
