ALM Intelligence Pacesetter Research finds clients are increasingly rewarding professional services providers best able to help them transcend the M&A transaction event and achieve long term value<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

New York, NY – March 30, 2021<\/strong>\u2013 New analysis from the ALM Intelligence Pacesetter Research team has found that after a brief pause in the spring of 2020 because of COVID-19, M&A markets have roared back to life. Many professional services providers focused on M&A report that their pipelines are as full as they\u2019ve ever been.<\/span> However, a significant shift has taken place due to record-high valuations and increasing government scrutiny of deals clients are being driven to focus on their assets\u2019 longer-term performance<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent years, the emphasis in deals moved from getting across the day one finish line to the successful implementation of the thesis strategy. The way clients view the value of deals has lengthened,\u00a0 so they are now looking not just at the value realization on day two, but in six months or a year, five years, and beyond\u201d, said <\/span>ALM Intelligence Pacesetter Research Analyst Lead Tomek Jankowski<\/strong>. \u201cThe reality is that the full value of a deal now means developing a strategy for asset performance over the acquired asset\u2019s lifecycle. This change is putting M&A back into its broader corporate development context and is becoming a key competency for clients to build internally for their long-term value creation strategy. This evolution adds up to a very different engagement model for providers in this space.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
