Commenting on the current state of transportation mergers and acquisitions will be James M. Hill, Executive Chairman of Benesch Law, in conjunction with expert panel members David Hallett of Lazard, Ltd and Andy Ahern of Ahern & Associates, Ltd.
Mr. Hill, a keynote speaker, expects attendees to gain specific knowledge on exactly how the current economy has affected the proposal of a merger or acquisition within the transportation industry and how these deals are getting done. Selected to deliver a portion of that message is Andy Ahern of Ahern & Associates; a twenty-plus year veteran in aiding hundreds of companies through the often times, risk laden proposition of mergers and acquisitions within the transportation industry.
“Andy has a deep knowledge of the transportation industry and an equally deep knowledge of the types of transactions taking place within the transportation industry—particularly in relation to pricing, terms and the overall viability of the transaction,”
TransForum 2009 takes place at the Gaylord Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, TN and runs from September 20 to September 23, 2009.
