Handling Upheaval
Contributed by Mergermarket, a Partner of M&A Leadership Council

The Brexit referendum on June 23 kicked off a season of significant political events across the globe, including the unpredictable US election. As dealmakers gear up for the busy year-end period, how are these events affecting the M&A environment?

Toppan Vite, a trusted financial printing and communications company, in partnership with Mergermarket, asked five M&A experts to find out.

Points of discussion include:

  • What effect did the Brexit vote have on global and North American M&A?
  • How much of the decline seen in North American deal values is attributed to the uncertainty of an approaching presidential election?
  • How will the current political upheaval in the US and EU affect private equity in North American M&A over the coming 6-12 months?
