After a challenging year for M&A the tide appears to be turning. Business and consumer confidence have risen sharply since the middle of 2009 and most leading indicators of activity signal some growth ahead. Whilst it is still too early to suggest that M&A levels are about to rebound to 2007 levels, all indicators suggest that M&A is back on the agenda, for Corporate and Private Equity. This sentiment is supported by our Deloitte 2009 Q4 CFO survey which indicates a rising trend in optimism for deal activity.
For those who undertake mergers, acquisitions or disposals we have a team of M&A professionals drawing upon industry knowledge and expertise through the entire deal life cycle. Challenging markets create turbulence - in demand, in the competitive landscape, in access to resources and capital and in people’s confidence. Our M&A professionals recognise these factors, and their impact on our clients, and we are at the forefront of creating practical solutions to support client strategies in these challenging markets.
Deloitte provides over 3,000 M&A specialists globally who provide a full spectrum of services from development of a workable strategy, through to the complete integration.
