How Your Firm Can Benefit from the Rebound in the M&A Market

The last five years have been characterized by an extremely strong global Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) market, with deal volumes and values hitting all-time highs in 2019. Along with economic growth, the M&A market came to a screeching halt in 2020, driven primarily by the Covid-19 crisis, although global political and trade tensions arguably contributed somewhat to the decline. M&A deal volumes and values tanked in Q2 2020, representing the worst quarter since Q3 2009 in the aftermath of the 2008 Global Economic Crisis but rebounded strongly in Q3 and now into Q4 of this year. Many businesspersons are wondering, what is driving the rebound in M&A ahead of the economic recovery, and how can their firms benefit.
