Foley & Lardner LLP partner Louis Lehot is quoted in the Middle Market Growth article, “Corporate M&A Stirs up Momentum for 2024,” offering insight on the prospect of a resurgence in M&A activity this year.
Dealmaking last year was muted across all industries, for strategics and private equity acquirers alike. But emerging data suggests an uptick for M&A activity, and strategics are poised to get on-board —particularly as corporates sit on substantial amounts of capital that they are eager to deploy.
Lehot thinks 2024 should shape up to be an active and successful year for corporate M&A. “I’d like to think that there are a lot of reasons to be positive in 2024, and that M&A will be back,” he said.
