Warner led two of the three transactions honored this year:

Deal of the Year Over $20 Million: Warner represented Macatawa Bank Corp. (Nasdaq: MCBC) in its <a href="https://investors.macatawabank.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/159/wintrust-financial-corporation-and-macatawa-bank" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">merger</a> with Wintrust Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: WTFC), an Illinois-based financial services provider, in a transaction valued at $510.3 million — the largest bank transaction in West Michigan for 2024. Wintrust kept Macatawa as a separately chartered institution and maintained its board of directors, both of which were distinguishing factors for the Holland-based bank.
