The environment for M&A is constantly changing, and opportunistic dealmakers have realized that they must be creative to stay competitive and scale their businesses. Some of this thinking has been accelerated by the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, but what remains constant is the fact that private equity still has record amounts of capital to deploy, and dealmakers are being more creative and disruptive than ever before.
Have buyers' and sellers' expectations changed? With additional challenges and increased risk in every transaction, how have dealmakers refreshed their toolbox? What type of deal structures are favorable in the current market conditions? Will SPACs continue to play a significant role in the M&A market?
