For investors, dealmakers, and corporate strategists — this New To The Street interview features Frank Aquila, Senior M&A Partner at Sullivan & Cromwell, breaking down the latest global mergers and acquisitions trends shaping 2025 and beyond.
Aquila discusses how AI is transforming every stage of dealmaking—from target identification and due diligence to filings and integration. He explains why mega-deals ($5B+) are driving a $3 trillion market, even as overall deal volume remains moderate, and how virtual data rooms and AI tools have revolutionized transaction speed and precision.
He also shares insight on regulatory scrutiny, inflation and tariffs, and which sectors—technology, financial institutions, and consumer brands—are leading the charge. Expect candid analysis on North America’s dominance in deal flow, the rise of cross-border transactions, and why 2026 could be one of the busiest M&A years in recent history.
