Cross-border M&A hotspots emerge from a 'vortex of volatility'
Tariffs have created operating challenges that have slowed cross-border M&A, but deal activity is starting to increase, according to Paul Aversano, the practice leader for Alvarez & Marsal's global transaction advisory group. Aversano recently joined The Pipeline podcast to discuss cross-border M&A trends and noted that uncertainty is the biggest obstacle to the deals. He added that regulatory approval of the cross-border transactions has gotten more challenging in recent years, but deals are coming to market. Three areas that are helping produce the transactions are the Middle East, Japan and India.

Regulatory environment offers some near- and long-term positives for the IPO market
In this episode of the Pipeline podcast, Eddie Best, a partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP and co-chair of the firm's capital markets practice, discusses how the regulatory-friendly business environment is helping to open the IPO window. Best also examines how reducing reporting requirements and tailoring SEC rules to the size of companies can alleviate regulatory burdens for publicly traded companies.

In this episode of The Pipeline podcast, Anu Singh, a managing director in Kaufman Hall's M&A practice, discusses the outlook for transactions in healthcare services and how the dealmaking strategy is changing to focus on strategic partnerships instead of just creating scale through consolidation. Singh expects private equity to remain interested in the space, especially on the physician side, but he added that regulators will likely continue to scrutinize market concentration.
