Cross-Border M&A Panel With the decline of the high-leverage megadeal, cross border dealmakers look to the mid-market for strategic targets.
Cross border M&A presents great challenges along with opportunity . . .
Four areas that are often overlooked but which are vital to the success of the transaction . . .
Culture . . .   . . . both business and national
The importance of leadership and culture  in cross-border M&A •  Main challenges for foreign M&A Drivers & Expectations •  Why is cultural integration such a big challenge? Pre-transaction challenges Transaction challenges Post-transaction challenges • Keys  to successful cross-border transactions
M&A Culture and Best Practice Leading firms have territorial reputability based on their knowledge, expertise, ability to retain clients and local presence in middle market M&A. We set our competitive edge though: Knowledge of key industries; Access to pillars of business community leaders; Knowledge of large and mid‐sized companies; Relationships with local professionals (lawyers, accountants).
Local Economy . . . for example, currency fluctuations
Overcoming the disadvantages of long distance acquisitions
. . . which are often longer than in the US Time horizons . . .
