Mergers & Acquisitions Trends & Outlook

The first half of 2021 broke global records for mergers and acquisitions. In the U.S., deal value is up more than 200% over last year.  The pandemic effect, high multiples, low interest rates, the emergence of SPACs and expected regulatory changes are just a few of the reasons for this remarkable surge in M&A activity.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our panel discussion with M&A business leaders. If you missed the live event, a recording of the webinar may be found below.
