Newly-elected Partners Hunter Raines and Chris Rosselli discuss their respective practices as members of the Corporate group and share their 2024 outlooks on the M&A landscape, including market developments and emerging trends.
“Sellers’ valuation expectations are starting to normalize, the cost of financing deals is leveling off and financial buyers that sat on the sidelines in 2023 will be forced to come to market. Activity is really likely to take off if the market is able to build a consensus around the ‘soft-landing’ narrative for the macro economy,” Chris said.
Hunter added that many clients are “preparing to deploy significant resources this year, although in a more deliberate manner than what was common in 2021. Business owners contemplating a complete exit – or the addition of a new investor – should start preparing with their lawyers now to ensure that they pass a careful buyer’s muster.” https://lnkd.in/ewVbRdfa
