How to Prepare for and Execute an M&A Transaction in This Hyperactive Market

Smart Business Dealmakers Conference Philadelphia


Online Event

Blank Rome LLP is proud to be a Supporting Sponsor of the Smart Business Dealmakers Conference Philadelphia, The New Normal in M&A, where Partner Louis M. Rappaport will be a speaker. The event will be held online on Thursday, September 9, 2021, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. EDT.

COVID-19 brought abrupt changes to the M&A process. Now, dealmakers are writing a new rule book for raising capital, buying and selling companies, and managing liquidity events.

The conference connects thousands of local dealmakers—from middle-market CEOs to top investors and lenders to leading M&A advisers. With sessions ranging from raising capital to buying and selling companies to alternative asset investing, it covers the breadth of the M&A landscape.

Lou will serve as moderator for the “How to Prepare for and Execute an M&A Transaction in This Hyperactive Market” panel, which will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EDT. The panelists will discuss how to navigate the new dealmaking normal, with the M&A market heating back up last year after a brief pause during the early days of the COVID pandemic and the market today being busier and crazier than ever before.

  • How can you ensure you’re ready for any type of M&A transaction that comes your way?
  • Are you able to execute the deal?

Other conference sessions include:

  • M&A Dealmakers Roundtable
  • Navigating the Acquisition Landscape
  • The Sell-Side Dilemma
  • Liquidity Lessons from Selling a Fourth-Generation Family Business
  • Pre-Transaction Planning Amid Tax Uncertainty for Business Owners
  • Family Business Dynamics
  • A Strategic Approach to Managing Deal Risk

Also included are a keynote conversation with Tim Wallace, Strategic Advisor at iPipeline, and several virtual networking sessions.
