ABOUT THE EVENT

What will M&A look like in 2025? What will be the regulatory impact of the new administration and how will this impact M&A? Will there be more private equity transactions or stock-based strategic transactions dominate? Will we continue to see significant activity in the tech and energy sectors? Will cross-border M&A grow or will the US (and other countries) take a more restricted view on allowing cross-border acquisition and/or investment in strategic industries?

This roundtable, which will be the first post-election discussion on M&A in 2025 and how it may be impacted by the new administration as well as changing regulatory attitude and possible personal, brings together leading M&A lawyers from across the country with expertise across a wide range of industry verticals. In addition, the panel will consider potential market and legal trends that could impact M&A activity, as well as review what the final months of 2024 may bring.
