We are pleased to announce that Greenberg Glusker Corporate partners Andrew Apfelberg and Eric Perlmutter-Gumbiner have been selected to the Los Angeles Business Journal's "Leaders of Influence: M&A" list for 2026.

These M&A professionals were selected for their work helping companies scale, innovate, and transform through strategic transactions in one of the world's most dynamic business environments.

Andrew Apfelberg represents a “who’s who” of middle-market companies and high net worth individuals/family offices throughout the United States. He has considerable depth of experience in the branded consumer products, manufacturing and distribution, and professional service industries. Based on the results he achieves for them, his clients describe him as a practical, empathetic practitioner in an outside general counsel capacity or in significant transactions. Andrew has also overseen operations for various for-profit and non-profit organizations. Such experience allows him to structure transactions and negotiate agreements more effectively—maximizing value to the client through a personal understanding of the real-life issues that make a given solution more likely to be implemented and viewed as an effective outcome by both sides.

Eric Perlmutter-Gumbiner is a trusted M&A and transactional advisor to founders, entrepreneurs, strategic acquirers, investors, family offices, private equity sponsors, and high-growth companies across consumer products, media, entertainment, technology, sports, food and beverage, and branded businesses.
