CFA Winter Conference Awards Announced

Corporate Finance Associates (CFA), a leading international middle-market investment banking services firm with offices across the United States, Canada and India, announced the recipient of the prestigious Office of the Year 2009 award at their recent Winter Conference in New Orleans.

The CFA office in Memphis, headed by Gerald Lindsay, Jennifer Robichaux and Brad Lindsay, was honored for its outstanding achievements in 2009. When asked about the honor, Gerald replied "I feel very fortunate on many levels. To have my son and daughter working with me is a blessing that was never expected. Also, having the support of many successful CFA dealmakers is irreplaceable. Our accomplishment is clearly due to a strong CFA team and internationally recognized and trusted brand."

The conference, which took place February 25th and 26th, brought together M&A professionals from the United States, Canada, Europe, India and Asia. "The success of the conference is attributable to a culture of team work developed over 55 years and to CFA having successfully established a presence on the European and Asian continents" said Peter Heydenrych, Chairman of Corporate Finance Associates. Other highlights of the conference included guest speakers in the ESOP and Private Equity Group arenas as well as a panel of international M&A experts.
