The offshore industry is thriving but ESG is adding new
priorities both to transactions and to the way firms are being run,
according to a new report by Reports Legal featuring Ogier's
global managing partner Edward Mackereth.
With record deal activity across service lines this year, Ogier
has been busier than ever in the past 12 months.
"Corporate has had a stellar year with all the M&A
transactions and SPACs," said Edward.
Report Legal quotes data showing the total value of pending and
competed M&A deals in 2021 as reaching US$3.6 trillion, while
the total value of private equity deals more than doubled to reach
a record US$840 billion. New set-ups, M&As, IPOs, funds, new
product launches and capital raising have all been features of a
busy year offshore.
