AGENDA

• Key trends shaping cross-border dealmaking in 2025

  Global markets are evolving at unprecedented speed, and investors who anticipate the next wave of opportunities will be best positioned for success. Our panel will explore the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors driving cross-border M&A this year, from shifting capital flows and interest rate environments to the rise of new sectors attracting international investment. You’ll gain a forward-looking perspective on where the deal market is headed and how to capitalize on emerging opportunities.

• Structuring considerations and strategies for global private equity investments

  As private equity funds continue to expand their global reach, deal structures must adapt to different jurisdictions, tax regimes, and regulatory landscapes. Our speakers will share practical insights into the strategies that make cross-border investments not only possible but profitable. We’ll highlight innovative structuring techniques that balance risk with return, offering attendees a toolkit for navigating increasingly complex transactions.

• The evolving regulatory and financial environment across Europe, the United States, and beyond

  The rules of the game are shifting, from heightened scrutiny on foreign direct investment in Europe, to evolving antitrust and regulatory frameworks in the United States, to global ESG requirements that are redefining compliance. Our speakers will unpack what these changes mean for dealmakers and how to stay ahead of regulatory developments. Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of how global policies and financial systems are influencing cross-border deals in 2025.

• Practical takeaways from recent transactions and market activity

  Theory is important, but lessons from real-world deals are invaluable. We will draw on recent landmark transactions handled by our teams to showcase what works in practice, what pitfalls to avoid, and where creativity can make the difference between a stalled negotiation and a successful closing. These case studies will provide clients with actionable insights they can apply to their own transactions.
