In the first episode of S&C’s Critical Insights series on energy M&A trends, S&C’s Global Head of M&A Frank Aquila and partners George Sampas and Werner Ahlers discuss energy dealmaking in 2020 and its prospects looking ahead into 2021. They also explore the early policy moves of the Biden Administration that are likely to impact energy M&A, including President Biden’s pledge to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and the unveiling of a $2 trillion infrastructure proposal with ample measures to curb climate change.
