Despite substantial political and economic turmoil, the U.S. M&A market remained strong in 2019. The fundamentals support optimism for 2020, though headwinds could dampen activity.
In 2020, we expect general continuity of practices surrounding Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, with an increased focus on China-related non-notified transactions; implementation of the final Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 regulations (effective February 13, 2020); and, likely most significantly, expanded mandatory CFIUS coverage via continuing export control reform.
As a new decade begins and the political situation in the U.K. begins to settle, market participants have several reasons for optimism regarding the outlook for M&A.
