Our M&A practice offers a team of experienced professionals, a network of industry experts, and a comprehensive approach to M&A projects. The resources provided aim to support clients in M&A projects, offering a customized approach to meet their unique needs.
Key factors driving M&A activity include macroeconomic clarity, rising CEO confidence, supportive regulatory policies, and a sense of stability. Many companies are also focusing on corporate simplification and portfolio optimization, leading to increased separation activity like spin-offs and divestitures. The AI era presents opportunities for M&A, particularly in the infrastructure and platform layers.
However, M&A activity faces challenges such as regulatory uncertainty, market volatility, and high interest rates in some regions. Unpredictable tariff policies and antitrust scrutiny can complicate M&A processes and deal approvals. Companies must adapt strategies to navigate these uncertainties.
Despite these challenges, opportunities abound in sectors undergoing transformation and consolidation, particularly those leveraging technology and aligning with sustainability goals. Opportunities for consolidation and strategic alliances are expected to grow, especially as companies seek to reduce costs and build resilience in uncertain environments.
The trend of corporate separation and divestitures is global, providing opportunities for strategic acquisitions and restructuring across various regions. Certain sectors, such as consumer goods and food and beverage, see favourable conditions due to falling commodity prices and strategic divestitures, which can lead to robust M&A activity.
