2021 M & A Deal Trends and Negotiating Points

After M&A suffered a pandemic-induced collapse in the second quarter of 2020, U.S. M&A recovered strongly in the second half of 2020, with fourth quarter deal value the highest on record.  A multitude of factors have 2021 poised to be another strong year for M&A.  Please join us for a presentation by Rutan corporate attorneys Garett Sleichter and Christina McSparron on the current trends impacting M&A deals, particularly in the middle market sector, including:

•  COVID and its impact on deal structuring, due diligence, financing, and documentation.
• The explosion of special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and their impact on M&A markets.           
• The continuing evolution of representation and warranty (R&W) insurance and “no seller indemnity” transaction structures.

We hope to see you at this highly anticipated program so please RSVP today.
