Tech is changing asset valuations and the potential legal risks to securing overall deal value.

Key points

  • Tech is reshaping growth, cost and synergy value from M&A deals. Standardized platforms and data make post-deal integration easier; contested deals are more likely. 
  • AI’s impact: 17% of dealmakers say AI is delivering a greater-than-25% efficiency gain in valuation modeling , while more than a quarter have walked away from deals due to AI-related risks.
  • Legal safeguards around any tech-based valuation assumptions are becoming more important to guard against downside risks.
  • Earn-outs and other forms of performance-related deal terms are becoming critical, as both vendors and acquirers work out the impact of AI.
