We are delighted to publish the second edition of our M&A trend tracker (PDF).

This publication analyses data from a sample of 20 M&A transactions on which Fladgate advised during 2018 and 2021, i.e. in the period before and after the Covid pandemic.

Our analysis highlights how some deal terms have remained consistent, whereas other terms have evolved pre- and post-pandemic. The analysis gives rise to some interesting conclusions, including that it is often taking less time to close transactions; and that family offices and international buyers are becoming a more prominent fixture in the UK M&A market.

This publication will be of interest to anyone engaged in or considering M&A activity, including funds, HNWs, entrepreneurs and corporates; as well as intermediaries including corporate finance advisers and reporting accountants.
