Lathrop GPM partner and mergers and acquisitions specialist Mark Williamson says deals are happening at an “unbelievable” pace as a pandemic-related pause accelerates the usual year-end rush.
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) came roaring back in September after restrictions imposed to slow the spread of the coronavirus largely stopped activity from March through early summer, Williamson said.
Some sellers are moving quickly to avoid another potential disaster, some to take advantage of what they think are more favorable tax laws, said Williamson, who focuses on middle-market deals between $25 million to $100 million.
