In November 2023, we convened hundreds of guests for a fireside chat examining extreme politics, toxic rhetoric, and how to bridge the gaps (view event highlights here). Your response to this dialogue was tremendous, and led us to launch the Candid Conversations event series, featuring networking, breakfast, and interactive small group discussions about trending (and perhaps controversial) topics. We hope you will join us for one or more of these conversations, and help us continue to build our community through meaningful and transparent conversation.

Share your thoughts below to help us curate the most impactful discussion topics, then register for upcoming events in the series.

“…it was really hard to come to the realization [that I want to sell my company], but I got there, and it became palatable, by working with Paul and his group. I think that’s what made it doable for me from an emotional point of view---knowing that I was working with great people who were going to support what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. I felt like I wanted a firm that specialized in a M&A transactions and, from the first meeting we had, I knew they were the right choice…steering us through the legal journey of transaction like this.
