Global M&A Intelligence Report 2019

Our annual Global M&A Intelligence Report is based on an analysis of key deal terms in over 2,000 private M&A transactions on which we advised since 2015.

For the ninth successive year we were number one for global M&A deal volume. We also advised on the most European Private Equity buyout and exit deals in 2018.

Our report includes analysis and commentary on the following key topics: 

• Typical transaction structures and deal processes used globally.
• The impact that an auction process has on the legal terms of a sale and the apportionment of liability between buyers and sellers.
• Who wins the auction game and how they do it.
• What pricing mechanisms are used and the impact of geography.
