M&A Awards

Welcome to the M&A Awards 2024! Now in its eighth year, Acquisition International’s well-established mainstay returns to bring much deserved recognition to the brightest minds in the M&A industry. Since 2016 Acquisition International has been shining a spotlight on the top advisors, appraisers, analysts and legal professionals who contribute to a yearly average of 50,000 multi-million dollar deals worldwide. Despite its decline in 2023, the M&A industry is experiencing a resurgence in 2024, fuelled by stabilised inflation, consistent interest rates, and increased availability of private debt. There is a significant rise in deal activity, with technology leading the charge, particularly artificial intelligence. Private debt is emerging as a critical financing source, driven by large cash reserves and private equity. Regulatory developments, especially in antitrust and ESG factors, although challenging are presenting opportunities, making M&A legal professionals even more important in 2024. Sectors like insurance, mining, and banking are experiencing unique trends, with strong deal volumes in niche areas despite broader market challenges. Overall, cautious optimism prevails. This optimism is well-placed, as the M&A industry’s resurgence is likely to bolster the success and strength of these sectors. Mergers and acquisitions can augment businesses, helping an already successful venture to reach its full potential, or speed up its growth. The professionals involved in these deals are responsible for steering the course of entire industries and the M&A Awards 2024 is intended to celebrate their tactical prowess, knowledge and skill.
