M&A is coming off the back of a shaky 2013 but Karen
Evans-Cullen tells Australasian Lawyer TV's Hannah Temple she
believes the conditions are perfect for a much brighter 2014.
2014 will see M&A comeback
Hannah Temple, Australasian Lawyer
Karen Evans-Cullen, Partner, Clayton Utz
Karen Evans-Cullen: Yes it was a tough year in
M&A across the market and certainly we and our competitors
probably found it quite challenging but I think we are in a
cyclical practice area and we're used to riding through those
cycles.
Australasian Lawyer: Mergers and acquisitions
are coming off the back of a tough 2013, with activity levels down
50% on 2012, their lowest since 2002. However Karen Evans-Cullen,
partner at Clayton Utz, isn't fazed and sees a bright 2014
ahead for M&A.
