Partner Joseph Conahan has been named to M&A Advisor's Sixth Annual 40 Under 40 Emerging Leaders Awards, a global recognition honoring leading dealmakers, legal advisors and others in the mergers and acquisitions, financing and turnaround markets. Winners were selected by an independent judging panel to recognize professional accomplishments and industry involvement.

"It is our belief that the 40 Under 40 Emerging Leader Award winners will continue to have a significant effect on the advancement of our industry," said David Fergusson, President and Co-CEO of M&A Advisor. "Through the support of business, philanthropic, academic and personal development experts, we are establishing a connected leadership community with the mandate to empower these successful young professionals to improve the life experiences of others through their career."

Conahan's practice focuses on corporate and transactional matters, with an emphasis on mergers, acquisitions, restructurings and financing transactions, as well as on counseling public company clients on ongoing corporate legal matters, including federal securities reporting requirements and corporate governance issues.

On Monday, June 29, M&A Advisor will host an awards event for honorees at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.
