Merit Investment Bank & Company was named finalist for the Boutique Investment Banking Firm of the Year award, the Industrials Deal of the Year ($50mm to $100mm) and the Telecommunication Services Deal of the Year.
Nominees were evaluated in each category by an independent panel of judges, who narrowed the large field of nominees down to the finalists.
Judges will now turn their attention on the challenging task of selecting the ultimate award winners, which will be unveiled at the 18th Annual M&A Advisor Awards Gala on Tuesday, November 19 at the New York Athletic Club in New York.
