Burch to Particpate in Upcoming Panel Discussion: Life after the Series 79

Burch & Company's Senior Compliance Officer, Amy Hughes, will be presenting as part of a panel discussion next month at the M&A Source's Fall Conference in Phoenix.  The panel, "Life after the Series 79 - Working with a Broker-Dealer,"  is scheduled for November 15th and is to be moderated by Dolliver H. Frederick, CBI, M&AMI, of Frederick Capital Corporation.  Other panel participants include Fred G. Jager, CBI, M&AMI of Hunter Wise Financial Group; Brian Marks, Partner, Knopman Financial Training; and George A. Petrulis, CBI, M&AMI, of Kensington Services, Inc. 

Burch is excited that Ms. Hughes will have the opportunity to discuss with conference attendees not only the licensing process for investment bankers looking to obtain the Series 79 in order to provide securities-related advisory services on M&A engagements, but also provide insight as to what you may expect once you become licensed.  Burch will also be an exhibitor during the conference, should you wish to stop by our table.  For full conference details and schedule, please head to M&A Source Website .  If you would like to contact Burch directly to discuss the investment banking securities licensing process and our firm's ongoing requirements and processes, please contact our President, Randy Burch, at 816.842.4660.

Keynote Speaker at M&A Source to discuss Securities Compliance

If you are planning on attending the IBBA M&A Source Expo in Louisville (NOV 16-22nd), be sure and make it to the luncheon on November 19th.  Shane Hansen of Warner Norcross & Judd LLP will be the Keynote Speaker.  He will be discussing, among other things, compliance solutions such as affiliating with an existing Broker Dealer. Discussion starts at 12 noon.  See page one of the attached conference schedule for a broader overview of this topic: IBBA Conference Brochure  Here is a taste:

"What’s the difference between you and an investment banker? Your business card may not read “One Wall Street, New York, New York”  but, apart from the number of zeros in the deal price, and your take home pay, your M&A engagements and daily activities are regulated no differently under federal and state securities laws."

I will be in attendance for this luncheon and then representing Burch all day Thursday at the M&A Expo.  Please stop by our table to learn about our middle-market intermediary securities licensing platform. 


Thanks, Jessica

Burch & Co. Recently Attended the AM&AA Summer Conference

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who stopped by our exhibit table in Chicago during the AM&AA's Summer Conference.  If you were unable to meet me at the table, or did not attend, feel free to call me at 816-842-4660 to discuss M&A Securities Licensing. I will post a link to the AM&AA's presentation from this conference as soon as it is made available.  Mike Ertel and Shane Hansen did a great job of reviewing the AM&AA's continued efforts to work in conjunction with the ABA's efforts and ultimately work towards proposing to the SEC more applicable broker-dealer definitions for the M&A community, as many middle-market intermediaries are acting outside of current laws as "unregistered broker-dealers." 

Unfortunately, there is no assured time line or any guarantee in the success of these tremendous efforts. The current financial environment and regulatory scrutiny may prove to push the topic back. Of course more immediate solutions are available.  You can start your own broker/dealer. Or, you may opt to obtain your securities license with an existing broker/dealer, such as Burch, and simply take the licensing issue off the table, preparing your business for future opportunities, including stock and debt M&A transactions.
