As we look towards 2030, key trends are emerging that lawyers must understand to remain competitive in the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market. This session will focus on the most significant and specific trends likely to shape the M&A landscape in the coming years. The conversation will centre on two critical areas:

• Technological innovation and digitalisation in M&A: how artificial intelligence, automation and digital platforms are revolutionising due diligence and negotiations.
• The impact of new regulations and geopolitical factors: a focus on emerging markets and anticipated regulatory changes leading up to 2030.

The goal is to provide attendees with clear, actionable insights into how these trends will influence the evolution of the M&A market, fostering a focused discussion on leveraging opportunities and mitigating risks in this dynamic environment.
