Navigating Pitfalls in Sell-side M&A

Presented By: Bellmark Partners / JP Morgan Chase & Co.

For every successful deal, there are probably dozens that never get done. This is especially true during uncertain or challenging times. Join CEOs and M&A advisors for a rousing conversation about common—and uncommon—pitfalls you might face on the sell-side… and best practices to overcome them through painful lessons learned.

Join us after the 40-minute panel discussion concludes for a live post-session discussion where you will can meet the speakers and ask questions via Zoom.
