## Resource

As dealmakers navigate a competitive and fast-moving M&A environment, questions around risk allocation, execution speed and emerging technology are becoming increasingly important. In this episode of M&A Corner, Mizuho | Greenhill’s Co-Head of U.S. M&A, Doug Jackson, sits down with Bill Kucera, Partner and Head of Global M&A at Mayer Brown, to discuss M&A trends from a market and legal perspective. Our guests explore: The dynamics behind the megadeals that are currently dominating the M&A market volumes How financial sponsors are navigating a “softer” private equity transaction environment The growing adoption of representations and warranties insurance among strategic buyers The implications of regulatory changes requiring shorter tender offer periods for certain public deals The practical ways AI is already changing the M&A process Join our experts as they discuss how deal teams can manage emerging risks while staying focused on one of the fundamentals of transaction success: backing the right management team.
