Many commentators predicted 2018 as a strong year for M&A - Holding Redlich’s experience in the first half of 2018 is consistent with this.
The deals we have been involved in to date strongly suggest it’s a time for strategic and opportunistic acquisitions in the market - particularly the mid-market sector. This is driven to some extent by low interest rates as well as developing technology and business confidence.
However, worldwide deal failure rates were higher in 2017 than at the start of the Global Financial Crisis and Australia had the third highest deal failure rate globally.
