On January 17, Frank Aquila participated in Credit Suisse’s 4th Annual Washington Perspectives Conference: Antitrust and Market Power – The Future of M&A. Frank gave the afternoon keynote, “Deal Maker’s Perspective.” Frank focused his remarks on how decisions being made in Washington and other global capitals were affecting M&A transactions generally and cross-border deals in particular. While generally optimistic about merger activity in the near term, Frank cautioned that uncertainty would delay, and possibly derail, many transactions, and that cross-border transactions will require greater effort going forward.
