Marlin & Associates ("Marlin"), the boutique investment banking
and strategic advisory firm, today announced that the firm has been
recognized with six (6) "Deal-of-the-Year" awards for advising on
recent significant merger-and-acquisition transactions.
Four of these awards were presented earlier this week at a
ceremony held at Sotheby's in New York City. The awards and the
event were sponsored and hosted by The Association for Corporate
Growth (ACG) New York together with the M&A Advisor, a
conference producer and newsletter publisher serving the middle
market finance industry. ACG New York is the premier association in
New York City, representing 900 middle market deal making
professionals: private capital providers (both equity and debt),
M&A advisors, corporate executives, accountants, attorneys and
other related service providers. The other two awards were
presented in May at the 6th Annual M&A Advisor Middle Market
Financing Awards Gala at the Drake Hotel in Chicago. In both cases,
the finalists were judged by an independent body of experts who
represented a cross-section of the middle market financing
industry.
This week, Marlin was honored for the advising on:
- Corporate and Strategic Acquisition-of-the-Year;
- Financial Services Deal-of-the-Year;
- Information Technology Deal-of-the-Year; and
- Middle Market Deal-of-the-Year.
In May, Marlin also was recognized for advising on:
- Financial Services Deal-of-the-Year; and
- Information Technology Deal-of-the-Year.
"We are always honored to be recognized for helping
technology-enabled firms successfully transact," said Ken Marlin,

same time, we are humbled to be among such distinguished
company."
