By taking three actions, companies can shave off about 40% of the time it takes to close a deal while maximizing value creation.
Dealmakers should prepare for a slower clearance process in the near term and expanded regulatory scrutiny over the long term.
M&A can play a major role in helping companies survive the crisis. Preparation, steady nerves, and a willingness to be bold are the keys to success.
Capital markets reward dealmakers who take the risk of pursuing acquisitions in a weak economy.
M&A dealmakers can take advantage of downturn opportunities to position their company for profitable growth during the recovery.

Auto companies are making deals to jump-start innovation, expand into new products, futureproof their business, and stay ahead of activist shareholders.
Activist-led deals can be highly effective in creating value—but they’re also highly public. Companies need to prepare before they become the target of a campaign.
Dealmakers seeking to convince their board and shareholders that an acquisition creates value have a clear imperative: prove that synergies justify a high valuation.
Buyers are losing ground in the battle for synergies, as sellers’ shareholders capture a growing share of the estimated value when a deal is announced.
