Benchmark International

Benchmark International is a finalist for an impressive 22 awards in the 22nd Annual M&A Advisor Awards. Our transactions and firm were among hundreds of entries from 450 participating companies that have successfully passed the initial evaluation stage. The process will continue as the independent panel of judges further evaluates and selects a winner from the finalists in each category. The judges are peers in the mergers and acquisitions transaction space, and it is quite an accomplishment to be recognized thus far as a finalist. 

In New York City, winners will be announced at a black-tie awards gala during the 2023 Future of Dealmaking Summit on November 14–15, 2023. The summit will feature over 500 of the industry’s leading professionals participating in exclusive interactive forums, sessions, roundtables, one-on-one meetings, and a solutions provider showcase led by a faculty of M&A industry stalwarts and business media experts.
