John Rockwell has been honored as a 2020 Emerging Leader by The M&A Advisor. These annual awards recognize and celebrate the achievements of outstanding young professionals who have reached a significant level of success while still under the age of 40. The 2020 award winners were chosen from a pool of prominent nominees identified for their notable accomplishments in business and in service to the community.

“We as an organization have always exemplified ourselves and these awards as an oasis for hope and celebration. And in 2020, but we have witnessed at the height of the lockdowns due to the pandemic and tremendous economic turmoil, these impressive young professionals have made notable contributions to our industry and to their communities. Truly, the Emerging Leader Awardees we are honoring are the best and the brightest. They are the future of the M&A, finance, and turnaround industry,” said Roger Aguinaldo, Founder of The M&A Advisor.

At WilmerHale, Rockwell works closely with early-stage and late-stage companies on a wide variety of corporate-related matters. He advises founders and companies on entity formation, venture capital equity and debt financings and related transactions, as well as mergers and acquisitions and corporate governance matters.

Rockwell will be honored at the virtual Annual Emerging Leaders Awards Gala on January 28.
