Corporate partner Jim Langston was quoted in a Financial Times article discussing why overall global deal count has fallen to its lowest level in a decade in the second quarter of 2025, excluding the Covid-19 lockdown period. In “Dealmakers Hit Pause on M&A as Caution Rules the Boardroom,” published on July 5, Jim notes that, despite current market uncertainties, there is a pent-up demand among companies for large strategic transactions that can significantly impact their operations, as evidenced by a recent surge in deals worth more than $10 billion year to date.
“If companies are going to make a bet on M&A, they want it to be something that moves the needle, that the reward is worth the risk,” says Jim.
