Part 1/8:
M&A Outlook in a Changing Political Landscape
The conversation surrounding mergers and acquisitions (M&A) indicates a significant shift in sentiment as the political landscape evolves. With the upcoming administration expected to take office in 2025, there is optimism about a resurgence in M&A activities. Legal frameworks governing mergers have been rigid under the current administration, specifically the merger guidelines introduced by President Biden in 2023. However, the political expectation is that these regulations will be relaxed with a return of a pro-business leadership under President-elect Trump.
