Global trends in private M&A 2024
Our annual client presentation on Global trends in private M&A draws on an in-depth analysis of 1,850 private M&A deals that we advised on globally, looking at deal dynamics, execution risks and deal terms. This has given us exceptional insight into evolving global and regional trends in market practice.
Key themes for 2023 include:
- A subdued year for M&A
- Auction activity remained static
- Pressure building on private equity
- Sellers stayed focused on execution risk despite softer M&A market
- Foreign investment approvals needed in a quarter of deals
- R&W insurance made a comeback in private equity exits
- Challenging conditions continued to impact global deal dynamics
Please speak to your usual A&O Shearman contact if you would like to schedule a briefing on these trends.
