The annual BizTimes M&A
Forum provided crucial insights into the latest considerations
in buying and selling a company, featuring local leaders and
professionals in the field, including Reinhart's Eric
Hagemeier, Jim Bedore and Brady Brown.
The region's premier event for staying informed on
developments in mergers and acquisitions, the M&A Forum kicked
off with a keynote presentation, "Deal Analysis: Inside a
Midwest Manufacturing Acquisition," that detailed the how a
2024 transaction came together, including the aftermath of sale,
the partnership's evolution, navigating culture and operations,
and the growth strategy related to a subsequent acquisition.
Following the keynote were two mock case studies that discussed
approaches to common issues that complicate transactions and
determine the value of potential deals. The first case study,
"Zero Tolerance," analyzed a manufacturing partner in the
Aerospace & Defense sector after the company's owner sought
to exit it to start a new venture in the agriculture industry.
Shareholder and co-chair of the firm's Corporate Law Practice
Eric Hagemeier served as a panelist.
The second case study, "Invisible Armor LLC," detailed
the journey of a premier provider of advanced technical services
and critical infrastructure for the energy and power markets. The
company's owner sought a sale to a partner for the next phase
of growth, with a desire to exit the company after the three years.
Attorney Brady Brown served as a panelist and James Bedore, of
counsel, moderated.
Hagemeier is a shareholder and co-chair of Reinhart's
Corporate Law Practice, using his financial background and keen
business sense to help clients make crucial strategic decisions. He
is also a member of the mergers and acquisitions, private equity,
venture capital, securities and corporate finance teams.

Securities practices, and a former member of the firm's board
of directors. He advises clients on a wide range of corporate and
securities matters, including mergers and acquisitions, public and
private securities offerings, private equity transactions and other
financing arrangements.
