Mid-Year M&A Dealmaking and Disputes Update

Last fall, BRG released its 2021 M&A Disputes Report. In the midst of record-high deal volume, the survey unpacked the growing number of M&A disputes—spurred by new deal structures, new investment vehicles, advances in technology, and changing economic conditions.

With the first half of 2022 behind us, we checked in on where things stand. We connected with BRG Managing Director Dan Galante, who has more than twenty-five years of transaction experience advising companies around the world. In what follows, we discuss the state of current M&A activity and disputes, the impact of present economic headwinds, the dealmaking outlook for the rest of 2022, and more.
