In this episode, host Mario Nigro talks with Oaklins Canada partner Jonathan Sherman. As a worldwide M&A advisory firm, Oaklins is able to expose Canadian midmarket businesses to a global marketplace of potential buyers and sellers, in addition to assisting with purely domestic transactions. The discussion focuses on the effect of tariff-related uncertainty on potential foreign acquirors. Jonathan notes that while many buyers are hesitant about acquisitions in the metals and auto sectors, there is still a healthy appetite in the U.S. and overseas for acquisitions in CUSMA-protected industries. Looking ahead, Jonathan predicts that pent-up supply will drive higher deal volumes in 2026, fueled by succession planning and delayed transactions.

JP Morgan's latest M&A report reveals something fascinating: despite ongoing uncertainty, global deal volumes hit $2.2 trillion (up 27% year-over-year).Here's what caught my attention: - Mega deals increased 57% because bigger players can thrive when smaller competitors freeze up. - Cross-border activity actually grew 24% despite rising protectionism as companies use M&A to position around trade uncertainties rather than avoid them. - And get this - AI infrastructure needs will drive $1 trillion in spending over the next 5 years, with data center capacity needing to increase 100-fold.Technology M&A surged 42%, financial services up 56%, and even media jumped 51% as consolidation becomes a survival strategy.The bottom line? Uncertainty isn't going away, but markets remain remarkably resilient. Smart deal-makers are learning to operate effectively in permanently uncertain conditions rather than waiting for clarity that may never come.Listen to my full breakdown on this solo DealQuest episode.• • •FOR MORE ON THIS EPISODE:https://www.coreykupfer.com/blog/JPMorgan2025• • •FOR MORE ON COREY KUPFER:https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/http://coreykupfer.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

This Day in Legal History: 26th AmendmentOn June 30, 1971, the Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified, lowering the voting age from 21 to 18. This change was largely driven by the political and social pressures of the Vietnam War era, when young Americans were being drafted to fight at 18 but could not vote. The rallying cry “old enough to fight, old enough to vote” captured the public's attention and galvanized a national movement. Though proposals to lower the voting age had circulated for decades, the urgency escalated in the 1960s and early 1970s as anti-war sentiment intensified.Congress passed the amendment with overwhelming support, and it achieved ratification at an unprecedented pace—taking just over three months, the fastest in U.S. history. This amendment added a new section to the Constitution, explicitly prohibiting federal and state governments from denying the right to vote to citizens aged 18 or older based on age. The swift ratification reflected broad bipartisan consensus and mounting public pressure to align civic duties and rights.The legal shift represented a significant expansion of suffrage in the United States, enfranchising millions of young people. It was also a notable example of constitutional change in response to contemporary social conditions and activism. States were subsequently required to amend their laws and election systems to accommodate the younger electorate, which has since played a key role in shaping political outcomes.Global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the first half of 2025 grew in value, despite fewer overall deals, thanks to a surge in megadeals—particularly in Asia. Market uncertainties tied to President Trump's tariff initiatives, high interest rates, and geopolitical tension initially dampened expectations. However, confidence among bankers is rising, with many believing that the worst of the turbulence has passed. The U.S. equity markets, bolstered by record highs in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, have helped restore optimism for stronger M&A activity in the second half of the year.Preliminary data show $2.14 trillion in global deals from January through June 27, a 26% increase year-over-year, driven in part by Asia's doubling in activity to nearly $584 billion. North America saw a 17% rise in deal value to over $1 trillion. Large deals, such as Toyota's $33 billion supplier buyout and ADNOC's $18.7 billion acquisition of Santos, helped drive Asia-Pacific's share of global M&A to over 27%. Meanwhile, fewer total deals—down to 17,528 from over 20,000 last year—were offset by a 62% rise in transactions worth over $10 billion.Eased antitrust policies in the U.S. and a drop in market volatility contributed to a more favorable environment. Investment bankers are now more optimistic, citing a strong pipeline for the second half and renewed IPO activity. Institutional investors are re-engaging, further fueling expectations of continued M&A momentum.Global M&A powered by larger deals in first half, bankers show appetite for megadeals | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled to curtail the use of “universal” injunctions—orders that block government policies nationwide—marking a major legal victory for President Donald Trump. This decision limits the ability of individual judges to halt federal actions across the entire country, reinforcing that relief should generally only apply to the plaintiffs involved. The ruling, authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, aimed to rein in what some conservatives see as judicial overreach.However, this legal win may not help Trump implement one of his most controversial policies: an executive order seeking to deny birthright citizenship to U.S.-born children of non-citizen parents. Three lower court judges had already blocked the order, citing likely violations of the 14th Amendment. Although the Supreme Court narrowed the injunctions, it left room for opponents to pursue class-action suits or broader relief through state challenges.Legal scholars expect a wave of class-action cases and continued efforts by states and advocacy groups to block the order's implementation before the 30-day delay expires. States argue they need nationwide protection due to the administrative chaos such a policy would bring. Yet the Court declined to resolve whether states are entitled to broader injunctions, leaving that question to lower courts. If challengers fail to secure class-wide or state-level blocks, the executive order could go into effect unevenly across the country, creating legal confusion for families affected by it.Trump wins as Supreme Court curbs judges, but may yet lose on birthright citizenship | ReutersSenate Majority Leader John Thune is racing to meet President Donald Trump's July 4 deadline to pass a massive tax and spending bill, navigating deep divisions within the Republican Party. The $3.3 trillion legislation, which includes $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and $1.2 trillion in spending cuts, is facing resistance from at least eight GOP senators. Key disagreements center around healthcare funding, renewable energy subsidies, and the bill's fiscal impact, including a proposed $5 trillion debt ceiling increase.Senators like Thom Tillis and Rand Paul are opposing the bill, citing concerns over Medicaid cuts and fiscal irresponsibility. Tillis, recently freed from political pressure after announcing he won't seek reelection, is expected to vote no. With a slim margin for passage, Thune can afford to lose only three Republican votes, counting on Vice President JD Vance to break a tie.Market reactions have been mixed; renewable energy stocks dropped due to proposed cuts to wind and solar tax incentives. Meanwhile, moderates are pushing to preserve Medicaid benefits and clean energy credits, warning of political fallout if millions lose health coverage. Senators like Ron Johnson are pushing for deeper Medicaid cuts to reduce the bill's overall cost.Trump has not engaged in policy details but is pressuring lawmakers to deliver the bill on time, using social media to criticize dissenters. The Senate is set for a long amendment session, with the House potentially voting on the final version by Wednesday. Whether Thune can secure the needed votes remains uncertain as the July 4 deadline approaches.Trump Tax Bill Hits Senate With GOP Torn by Competing DemandsIn the aftermath of devastating wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this year, Wall Street firms are rushing to capitalize on a wave of lawsuits targeting utilities like Edison International and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. These fires, among the worst in U.S. history, destroyed over 12,000 structures and have spurred litigation that could result in tens of billions of dollars in damages. With law firms often operating on contingency fees and facing steep costs, many are turning to third-party litigation financing—a lightly regulated, fast-growing industry now valued at $16 billion in the U.S.Major financial players including Jefferies and Oppenheimer are brokering deals to provide multimillion-dollar loans to lawyers handling these complex cases. These loans, often subject to non-disclosure agreements, carry interest rates above 20% and are repaid only when the law firms recover damages. In addition to funding legal efforts, some investors are purchasing subrogation claims from insurers, betting on favorable court outcomes.California's legal doctrine of inverse condemnation makes it easier for plaintiffs to hold utilities liable without proving negligence, further enticing investors. While some attorneys refuse outside funding to preserve client interests, others argue that financing is essential for firms lacking deep capital reserves. Critics, including regulators and advocacy groups, are raising concerns about the opacity of the funding industry and the potential for conflicts of interest.Wall Street Backs Los Angeles Wildfire Lawsuits, Chasing Billions This is a public episode.

Desde el paralelo 35, los entretelones de la realidad internacional. Conducción de Gustavo Calvo. Participan: Leo Harari y Ricardo Barboza.

Maria Shepherd is the founder and CEO of Medi-Vantage, which helps companies develop disruptive medical devices and marketing strategies. Every strategy is designed to decrease risk, disrupt existing markets, and drive market share while improving patient outcomes. With clients from Japan, Australia, several EU countries, and the United States, Medi-Vantage has developed a comprehensive approach to global market entry, with services encompassing everything from developing engineering marketing specifications to conducting clinical due diligence for acquisitions.  As a guest on The Global Marketing Show, a Rapport International podcast, Maria shares her best advice from over 16 years of medical device strategy research, covering the commercialization continuum from marketing specifications through reimbursement, pricing strategy, and go-to-market planning. She also provides a roadmap for bringing medical devices to global markets: careful research and strategic pricing built upon a deep understanding of local healthcare systems.  The Complexities of Global Medical Device Pricing  Maria reports that thanks to increased transparency in the digital age, the days of setting different prices for different regions are essentially over. When a medical device is sold at a significantly lower cost in India, for instance, in the US, Germany, France, or Japan, economic buyers can easily access that information.  Transparency has forced companies to develop more sophisticated approaches to market entry in different regions. Some strategies include providing complementary capital equipment with the purchase of disposables or the implementation of subscription models. These approaches must be carefully considered, however, as some markets (like US hospitals) are known to resist certain pricing models. The key is finding a balance across different healthcare systems while maintaining profitability and market access.  Medi-Vantage develops budget impact models to help companies determine pricing and demonstrate value. Maria describes a recent project involving a device to help OB-GYNs make more informed decisions about C-sections. The model factored in:  Current C-section rates (36% in the US versus 24% globally)  Hospital costs associated with C-sections  Potential complications and ICU stays  Impact on mothers and babies  NICU costs  Associated litigation risks  Long-term implications like cerebral palsy  A comprehensive analysis quantifies immediate and long-term cost savings, making it easier for healthcare providers to justify the investment. Such models are particularly valuable when introducing disruptive technologies that require changes to established medical practices, Maria says, adding that:  We quantified all of those and put them into the budgetary impact model because, oftentimes, nobody really sees an alternative to C-section. They don't sit down and figure out, what if we didn't have to do this C-section? Then there are the costs to the mother, of complications, death, extreme impairment, or long hospitalization.  Clinical Due Diligence in Global M&A  Medi-Vantage also conducts clinical due diligence for medical technology companies considering acquisitions. Maria says it's not unusual for a surface-level appeal to fall short of reality, describing a rare instance in which she resisted an acquisition. A new technology promised to reduce a procedure requiring two in-hospital procedures to one hospital procedure plus one office visit, a clear win for efficiency and cost reduction.  During the due diligence process, however, the Medi-Vantage team uncovered significant resistance from both physicians and hospital administrators. The physicians were concerned about losing control of the second procedure to another specialist; hospital administrators worried about lost revenue. The feedback proved invaluable to their client's decision-making process, highlighting the importance of understanding local healthcare dynamics and stakeholder interests.  Advice for Global Market Entry  Medical device companies seeking global expansion face a complex web of challenges that extend far beyond basic market research. Standing out in a competitive market requires working with consultants who have deep expertise in specific medical specialties, she says, and a network of partners who understand both the clinical and business aspects of the device industry.  “It's important to seek out the people who can do the best for you, who understand the medical device specialty,” be it interventional cardiology or gastroenterology, regulatory requirements, translation, or another aspect. This targeted approach helps to prioritize the steps toward market acceptance based on unique workflows and decision-making processes.  The complexity extends beyond clinical knowledge. Market entry strategies must also account for local healthcare systems, reimbursement structures, and regulatory frameworks. “It's not easy,” Maria acknowledges. “You take into account what the reimbursement rates are, what types of insurance plans are available. There are many different factors, but what you want to be sure of is that you've got guardrails in place.”  Communication presents another critical challenge. Even with her own French language skills, Maria insists on working with specialized medical translators for international research. “I would never interview somebody in French and rely on my own French speaking skills,” she says. “I want to be sure that I get every single little nugget.” This attention to detail is particularly important in medical device marketing, where misunderstandings about product specifications or usage could have serious consequences.  While AI translation tools can be helpful for basic understanding, Maria stresses the importance of human expertise in medical translation, particularly for critical communications and research. High-quality translation from subject matter experts should be used for anything affecting revenue, liability, or the company's bottom line. For translation, interpreting, and research, for example, Maria looks for linguists who understand medical terminology in both source and target languages.  Maria's experience in North Africa crystallized for her the importance of understanding local market conditions. Learning the Arabic word “makesh” (meaning “there isn't any”) taught her that assumptions about product availability and market needs don't translate across borders. “In the United States, you can get almost anything, but that's not true in the rest of the world,” she observes. “Makesh is almost the standard.” This insight underscores why thorough market research conducted by experts who understand both the medical specialty and local healthcare environment is essential for successful global expansion.  For companies planning international expansion, Maria recommends a methodical approach:  Find consultants with relevant medical specialty expertise  Ensure all research and communication is handled by qualified professionals with appropriate language and clinical knowledge  Develop market entry strategies that account for local healthcare systems and cultural nuances  While COVID-19 accelerated many changes, Maria notes that these shifts were already underway. Industry leaders like Medtronic and Boston Scientific have evolved beyond traditional multinational models to become truly global organizations with unified branding, marketing, and communication strategies. The path forward is both challenging and clear, she says, adding that success will require moving beyond surface-level market research toward a deep and nuanced understanding of local healthcare dynamics, especially when “makesh is the standard.”  Links: Website: https://www.medi-vantage.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariashepherd/ 

2023 war hart für den M&A-Markt. Und 2024 blieb die erwartete Belebung des Geschäfts aus. Das ergibt der aktuelle Global M&A Report 2025 von Bain & Company. Kai Grass, Partner und Leiter der Praxisgruppe Mergers & Acquisitions in der EMEA-Region bei Bain & Company, diskutiert in diesem Spotlight, welche Entwicklung 2025 bringen könnte. Geht es endlich aufwärts?

In this week's episode of The Debrief, MT's editorial team discusses whether Elon Musk is jeopardising the Tesla brand and what's in store for the M&A market in 2025.It's official: the richest man on the planet is now the United States' – and possibly the world's – most powerful unelected bureaucrat. Twenty twenty-four was a key year in the ongoing metamorphosis of Elon Musk, as he threw his support behind Donald Trump and embraced populist politicians around the globe, while courting controversy at (nearly) every turn. But what does this all mean for the businesses he controls? We put Tesla sales under the spotlight and bring you some expert views on what the future holds for the EV maker.Is the M&A market poised for an upturn? Bain & Company certainly thinks so. Its latest Global M&A Report explains why it has hopes for a rebound, and how businesses can set themselves up to harness positive momentum in the market. What's for certain is that any good news couldn't come soon enough, after last year saw deal value reach a historically low level as a percentage of global GDP, according to Bain. We bring you its reasons to be optimistic.

A Financial Advisor's Journey from Global M&A to Private Business ClientsToday we had the pleasure of interviewing Jeremy Weston, a financial advisor with Edward Jones whose unique background sets him apart in the financial advisory space. Jeremy's education in Business Finance first led him to work for large manufacturing corporations, primarily as an auditor for Mergers and Acquisitions. After his skill set proved to be one that could bring people together and build relationships, his role expanded into leading M&A Integration teams. His goal then was to align the company's purpose with its financial goals. If the two are not a match, the Integration usually takes much longer, costs more and many times will fail. He found he needed more than being a short term problem solver. Fast forward, he found his niche in working with owners of privately held companies to achieve their financial dreams, and 5 years ago acquired his CEPA designation. Now as a Certified Exit Planner, Jeremy is working more closely with business owners. He's not only advising them on their wealth planning, he's also advising them directly on money management decisions. As a CEPA, he wraps in advice on how and when to exit their businesses. Jeremy's expertise in manufacturing has been especially helpful for the clients who own these types of businesses; he gets what they've been through and what they're trying to do now. His advice is sound and not just theoretical. As a family man, Jeremy spends as much time as he can with his wife and four children. He's one of Edward Jones higher level advisors and takes his advisory role very seriously. Listen to the episode here Find Jeremy here and Julie hereSupport the Show.Are you ready for your best exit?

Hear from Vito Sperduto, RBC's Co-Head of Global M&A, and his panel of RBC Capital Markets' expert bankers on how large healthcare firms with strong balance sheets are putting cash to work — driving a ‘fast and furious' surge of M&A activity in the second half of the year and into 2024. Learn why healthcare momentum is building and how smaller deals are shaping M&A across the sector in the latest episode of Pathfinders in Biopharma. This podcast also features insights from Andrew ‘Cal' Callaway, Global Head of Healthcare Investment Banking, Ahmed Attia, Managing Director of Healthcare M&A, and Co-Head of US M&A, David Levin.

Compressed valuations, heightened CEO confidence, and the desire to accelerate top-line growth and scale innovation are the key factors driving healthcare M&A in 2023. As deal activity starts to accelerate, our banking experts are asking, what's next for the sector? Listen to Pathfinders in Biopharma to find out. This episode features insights from Vito Sperduto, Co-Head of Global M&A, Andrew ‘Cal' Callaway, Global Head of Healthcare Investment Banking, Ahmed Attia, Managing Director of Healthcare M&A, and David Levin, Co-Head of US M&A at RBC Capital Markets.

Aoife Xuereb, Nanda Lau and Andrew Rich discuss the outlook for M&A activity in Asia and Australia in the consumer sector, in light of the significant global macro-economic headwinds. They note that, despite those headwinds, M&A markets remain very much ‘open for business'. They also discuss how many consumer companies are looking to use M&A to reposition themselves through carving out companies, divisions and brands that are either no longer core or underperforming. They note that private capital firms with cash to deploy and trade buyers with strong balance sheets remain as keen as ever to acquire strong brands with stable cash flows.

In 2021, we saw record deal values of over USD$4.2 trillion in global M&A activity. However the global deal values had a 33% decline in the second half of 2022 compared to the first half.The market downturn in M&A conditions was also reflected in Asia, although the region as a whole held up relatively better activity-wise than most others. A question of whether 2022 was just a temporary setback for Asia M&A arises, together with how optimistic are we for 2023 given the resilience of the region. Irina Atkentjeva, our host, together with our M&A partners Tommy Tong and Joseph Fisher will explore the above in this episode. They will also talk about which sectors will drive activity in the region in their view, what other sectors may catch up, deal structures and terms we expect to see and how are M&A activity levels in 2023 so far.

Today we took on the challenge of unpacking the SEC's proposed climate disclosure rules and their potential implications. To help us do so, we had a panel of experienced leaders in the space join for a lively discussion that we hope will provide clarity and understanding. Our panel today includes Travis Wofford, Chair of the Corporate Department in Houston and Vice Chair of the Global M&A Practice and Scott Janoe, Chair of the Environmental, Safety & Incident Response Section from Baker Botts, and Dan Romito, Consulting Partner with Pickering Energy Partners.The framework of our discussion included an overview of the proposed requirements and background on the buildup to the SEC's new proposals, the key SEC players involved (with some particular focus on the dissenting view from Commissioner Peirce), the likelihood of the proposed rules becoming final, what the disclosures would cost and the potential liabilities for public companies, the potential unintended consequences of these new regulations, whether the SEC should be the governing body addressing these disclosures, implications for small to large companies, the importance of materiality, and the "climate industrial complex," just to hit a few. We greatly appreciate Travis, Scott, and Dan sharing their perspectives and are hopeful these proposed SEC changes can be improved before they are ultimately implemented.For further reading, Baker Botts has published a thought leadership piece. Statements are also available from SEC Chair Gary Gensler, Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, Commissioner Hester Peirce, and Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw.Mike Bradley kicked us off with a look at equity and commodity performance for the week, noting US natural gas and Euro natural gas and commodity curves for natural gas vs. WTI crude oil.
