Global Guide: Public M&A

Public M&A is picking up speed in 2025, with global deal volume rising and take-private values recovering towards prior highs.

Our updated global public M&A guide considers questions that commonly arise on public M&A deals in over 20 major markets and also focuses on issues that surprise overseas bidders.

No two public M&A deals are the same but we hope this is a useful guide to some of the main features of doing cross-border deals. Please feel free to get in touch with your Linklaters contacts about any of the issues raised.
