Cross-border deal-making is facing new challenges, with private capital increasingly shaping global investment trends. Technology is not only facilitating M&A transactions but also emerging as a key focus area for acquisitions, particularly in the digital sector. Sustainability considerations are becoming integral to M&A strategies, reflecting the changing regulatory priorities of the new administration. Navigating these hurdles requires longer timelines, more sophisticated strategies, reshaped deal structures, and enhanced due diligence.
