This spring, under a canopy of cherry blossoms, Tokyo set a picturesque stage for the Globalscope conference. Attended by Jim Keeling, our Chairman and CEO, the event became a vibrant hub for our 55 member firms from around the globe, fostering new connections and strengthening existing ones.

Our focus was on deep collaboration and knowledge exchange across our six key sectors, with members engaging in comprehensive discussions about the complexities of cross-border mergers and acquisitions. These interactions underscored Globalscope’s dedication to achieving the best possible outcomes for mid-market companies facing unique challenges in financing, restructuring, or selling.

The conference was more than just a meeting of minds; it nurtured a sense of community among our entrepreneurial firms, infusing our sessions with camaraderie and shared expertise vital for serving clients worldwide. Despite a challenging global market, Globalscope's robust performance in 2023—closing 178 deals worth $8.57 billion—illustrates our continued commitment to excellence in corporate finance and business advisory.

Corbett Keeling is proud to be a proactive member of this vibrant community, contributing significantly to our collective achievements.
