Spencer Fane attorney Pete Hartweger returned as a presenter for the Exit Planning Institute (EPI) Kansas City Chapter on March 4 in Overland Park, Kansas.
Combining his insights with those of Tyler Clement (Turnstone Investment Banking) for the presentation, M&A and Private Capital Markets, Pete explored deal structure, financing, and negotiation under the current market landscape. Helping attendees to understand how this knowledge enhances effective exit planning, the session highlighted transaction trends, legal considerations, and the evolving role of private capital in driving business transitions and liquidity events.

His clients are in a wide-range of industries, including wealth management, financial planning, manufacturing, broadcasting, engineering, transportation, construction, technology, health care, and temporary labor.
