Navigating Employment Issues in Mergers and Acquisitions: Planning for Integration and Mitigating Risk
Strafford Live CLE Webinar

Deal makers have been cautious, particularly given Brexit and the new US administration and what that will entail. Once greater clarity emerges, we expect global M&A activity to pick up to a peak of US$3 trillion in 2018.
From a sector perspective, a key driver of global deals will be the tech sector, where M&A is forecast to reach US$415 billion by 2018 — the highest since 2000.
Healthcare, particularly biotech and pharma deals, will also fuel the upturn amid greater innovation, less regulatory intervention in the US and a larger role for private health providers in supplying public health services.
North America will remain the largest market for M&A transactions, accounting for 50% of global M&A values in 2017 and 2018.
We base our M&A forecasts on the anticipation that EU and UK officials will make progress on establishing a new relationship in 2017, and that the new US administration will adopt a less protectionist stance on international trade and immigration policy, while setting out plans for fiscal stimulus.
