The recognized deal was the acquisition of Generational Capital Markets (GCM) client Dock Edge +, Inc., by Canada Metal (Pacific) Ltd., a subsidiary of Branford Castle Partners. The deal closed on September 12, 2016.

GCM Managing Director Chris Heckert advised Dock Edge + in the transaction. "I am honored by this award," said Heckert.

This year's finalists were from more than 60 companies and represented every major market in the world. An independent judging committee of 23 top M&A industry experts determined the ultimate recipients of the awards.

"Since the introduction of the International M&A Awards in 2009, we have continued to witness the growth of cross-border M&A outpace that of domestic dealmaking volume. And we attribute this to the new generation of global M&A experts whose intimate knowledge and expertise in the cultural, financial and legal arenas are redefining our industry," said David Fergusson, President and Co-CEO of The M&A Advisor.
