I recently read an encouraging piece in The Wall Street Journal exploring how Wall Street banks have been experiencing dealmaking “green shoots.” This has resulted in renewed optimism, despite declining M&A revenue.   We have seen a lot of speculation about how macro uncertainties are impacting dealmaking across the globe. However, success in dealmaking is not always contingent on macro uncertainties.   Over the course of my career, I have always found that M&A, when executed in a strategic and mindful manner, can be an effective way for financial services firms to rejuvenate their strategies, complement synergies, and explore new ways to drive growth. Macro uncertainties are important and should be considered, but what takes deals over the line are established and trusted partnerships, tenacity across the deal teams and – despite short-term headwinds – a clear, forward-looking view of the transaction’s ultimate value and potential.   #financialservices #mergersandacquisitions #transactions #regulatory
