This work includes pre-transaction planning, due diligence, deal and information management, preparation and negotiation of purchase and other transaction agreements, closings, post-closing matters, and business integration. He leads transactions involving equity and assets, mergers, venture capital, private equity and bank financings, joint ventures, and corporate reorganizations and restructurings. Jefferies’ experience extends to the purchase of assets and businesses through managed sale processes as well as in bankruptcy, receivership and other distressed situations.
The honors appear in the publication’s 2018-2019 Business Owners’ Guide, a year-round reference for business owners containing lists of best companies and 150 other business resources. In addition, winners and finalists will be honored at a luncheon Oct. 24 at the St. Charles Convention Center.
