PSMJ's M&A for Buyers Roundtable is a fact-filled interactive Roundtable for discussion, information sharing and real buyer-centric M&A guidance. Attending this exclusive session for high-level executives from the A/E/C industry will give you specific answers to today’s complex questions about M&A, specifically from the buyers POV. Together we will walk through a structured, logical approach to developing practical planning tools for your firm’s acquisition opportunities, and discuss the intimate details of several deals that have happened in just the last few months.

In addition, we will address specific issues about acquiring in today’s economic climate, including:

• What you should know about your own firm before you begin an acquisition?
• Who should be on your acquisition team and why?
• What are the potential danger signs to watch for when evaluating a candidate?
• How to find undiscovered opportunities
• How to retain 100% of satisfied employees after the sale
• How to find financing to an acquisition in today’s credit crunch
• What are the unique tax issues of acquiring overseas operations?

The purpose of this Roundtable is also to get you prepared for future acquisitions. Your Acquisition plan gains enormous power when it is unlocked, discussed with people just like you, given structure and credibility, and committed to paper. The absence of a structured, written and communicated acquisition plan leaves your firm without direction and moves you closer to the failure track if an opportunity pops up. A strong and well-communicated plan gives you a clear philosophy and direction. Wouldn’t you like to sit in an expert's seat and see how some firms are aggressively taking advantage of this economic situation by planning–specifically how to do deals?

Or better yet, imagine if you had an expert in acquisitions, with tons of real industry experience, tell you how to get it done right.

Come to PSMJ's Mergers & Acquisitions for Buyers to get the expert advice you are looking for. If you were thinking about buying a firm in the near future, you need to be at this Roundtable.
