M&A

Managing deals is in our DNA.

The M&A market currently faces multiple dynamic challenges, including the serious economic uncertainties caused by short- and medium-term geopolitical developments, supply chain problems, rising interest rates, stricter legal rules on M&A transactions and ESG requirements.
