Reminder: State of M&A Webinar Tomorrow

Last Call! Register Here….

I’ll just go ahead and skip all the trite pleasantries about how we are in the “new normal” and get right to it: are you curious what is going on with M&A deals? I mean… it’s been quite a year, right?

It’s been nearly one year exactly since I wrote “Is the M&A Window Closing?” And it’s now going on 6 months since I did a whole host of webinars and events on “M&A and COVID.” When I wrote the “Window is Closing” article, my biggest concern at the time was not a specific threat to the M&A market – rather a general sense of foreboding that this market is just too good to be true. (Wishing I had taken the odds on “global pandemic” being the thing that tumbles the economy….)

In any event, the market has definitely changed. On one hand, M&A deals are still happening! On the other… a lot depends on the industry and the health of the target company. And even in those industries that remain healthy the logistics of running a “process,” interacting with buyers / sellers, and diligence has often materially changed. We’ll be discussing those issues and more with a few industry experts.
