DENVER, Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Burleson LLP, a full-service law firm devoted primarily to the oil and gas industry, will host a new seminar on Oct. 21 titled M&A Mid-market Outlook: Insights from the Dealmakers as part of its ongoing educational series.  It will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Denver Athletic Club. 

The complimentary event, which will include lunch, will cover a range of topics, including financial versus strategic buyers, rollover equity, post-transaction value creation, the increase of middle market multiples and valuations, access to credit, and strategies for timing the sale of a business.  

It will be led by John Murray, partner in charge of the firm's Denver office and an experienced corporate and mergers and acquisitions practitioner, and Ken Witt, a partner in the firm's corporate and securities practice.   

They will be joined by guest speakers Ronald M. Barber, senior vice president of W.G. Nielsen & Co., an investment banking firm, and Bruno Darre, co-founder and partner of Bow River Capital, a private equity and growth capital firm. 

Murray said attendees will benefit from updates on important issues, trends, and approaches, delivered directly by the executives and attorneys handling middle market transactions. 

"Companies like W.G. Nielsen and Bow River Capital are playing a critical role in the growth and viability of the middle market in the Rocky Mountain region," explained Murray, who advises clients on a broad range of sophisticated commercial transactions, including acquisitions, divestitures, financing, formations and restructurings.

"Ron and Bruno have their fingers on the pulse of the risks, rewards, and opportunities in today's investment environment, and are sure to leave attendees with a broader understanding of several key observations important to executives contemplating the sale of their companies." 

Barber consults with a variety of private companies and institutional investors, handling transactions that typically fall between $25 million and $200 million in size. His background includes serving as the chief executive officer of Corybant, Inc., which develops information models for enterprise applications and social networking.  He also founded and served as executive vice president of sales and international operations for TomTec Imaging Systems, a manufacturer of medical imaging and information management systems. 

Darre has extensive knowledge in originating, structuring, and executing buyouts, recapitalizations, and growth capital transactions.  Prior to co-founding Bow River Capital, he was a principal at CapEx, LP, a $60 million small business investment company that made mezzanine debt and equity investments in operating companies throughout the United States. 

The event is part of Burleson's Trends, Terms and Lessons Learned series, which is designed to encourage open discussion of significant issues impacting the energy industry and other sectors served by the firm.
