May 24, 2024
Krieg DeVault is pleased to announce that Partner Sarah E. Jones has been elected to serve on the Board of Directors of the Indiana Chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth (“ACG”). Ms. Jones will begin her three-year term immediately. In addition to her new duties serving on the Board, Ms. Jones is no stranger to taking on leadership positions within the ACG Indiana Chapter. She currently serves as Chair of Young ACG, which focuses on educational events and business development opportunities for up-and-coming deal makers and leaders within the M&A community, as well as serves on the Committee for Women in Transactions (WiT), a focus within ACG Indiana comprised of women actively contributing to the deal transaction process of middle market organizations. For her outstanding contributions to the deal-making community, Ms. Jones received the ACG Young Professional of the Year Award earlier this year.
Founded in 2002, the Indiana Chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth consists of over 200 members throughout the mergers and acquisitions community assisting investors, executives, lenders and advisors to grow middle-market companies. ACG’s mission is to drive middle-market growth. Krieg DeVault has been an integral partner in helping to grow the ACG Indiana Chapter for several years. The firm currently serves as a Platinum Sponsor of the organization, the highest level of support offered.
“I am honored to be elected to the Board of Directors,” said Jones. “ACG Indiana is instrumental in bringing together a network of dealmakers in the central Indiana community, and I’m grateful to have made not only connections but friends throughout my involvement with ACG Indiana thus far. In my new role serving on ACG’s leadership team, I look forward to continuing the growth of ACG Indiana through programming and social events for new and established professionals in our community.”
Sarah Jones concentrates her practice in a blend of corporate and real estate transactions for a variety of established and start-up companies, banks, and individuals. Her practice focuses on representation of clients with complex legal transactions involving stock and asset sales, mergers, reorganizations, joint ventures, and other restructuring matters. Ms. Jones’ practice also includes advising clients with respect to general corporate matters such as entity formation and organization, procurement of diversity certifications (including Women Business Enterprise (WBE) and other similar certifications), governance matters, commercial contract negotiation, and other related aspects intended to help clients establish and grow their business.
Beyond ACG Indiana, Ms. Jones serves on the Board of Directors for the Carmel Youth Assistance Program, on the Board of Trustees for Hussey-Mayfield Public Library, and on the Executive Leadership Team for the 2024 Dress for Success Stepping Out in Style event. She recently received recognition by Junior Achievement as an Indy’s Best and Brightest Finalist in the Law category, and has been recognized as a Rising Star by Indiana Super Lawyers and as “One to Watch” by Best Lawyers in America.
