Join Citrin Cooperman at the premier gathering for the independent sponsor community.

Citrin Cooperman is proud to participate in the 21st Annual Independent Sponsors Summit: New York, hosted by iGlobal Forum on September 28-29, 2026, in New York City. Recognized as a leading event for the lower middle market, the summit convenes independent sponsors, capital providers, operating partners, and transaction professionals to foster relationships, explore investment opportunities, and discuss the latest trends shaping the deal landscape.

As part of Citrin Cooperman's ongoing commitment to the private equity and the independent sponsor community, Nichol Chiarella, Practice Leader of Mergers and Acquisitions Tax Practice, will facilitate "What Capital Providers Really Think," an interactive roundtable focused on the perspectives, priorities, and expectations of today's capital providers.

In addition, David Zawitkowski, Partner in Transaction Advisory Services Practice, will moderate "War Stories: When Deals Go Wrong," a featured panel where experienced independent sponsors will candidly discuss transactions that did not go as planned, the challenges they encountered, and the lessons learned to help protect and enhance value in future deals.

Connect with our team at the summit to get a free copy of the “2026 Independent Sponsor Report: The Next Chapter” and learn how Citrin Cooperman supports independent sponsors and private equity professionals throughout the transaction lifecycle.
