The development of a top-tier New York-based, US M&A practice is central to the strategy of Clifford Chance (CC). Deals involving a US company accounted for more than 40% of global M&A activity in 2006 and the total value of US M&A transactions grew faster than the rest of the world. Looking ahead to the remainder of 2007, it seems likely that activity will, if anything, escalate as there has already been a significant number of US mega-deals and the increasing cross-border nature of US M&A will continue.
CC’s strategy during the past three years has been to support the US practice in playing an assertive role in a vibrant market that is being driven by a number of factors. Globalisation is a powerful influence and CC’s Americas M&A practice has been involved in large numbers of cross-border deals during the past year. A mix of economic factors are also playing their part, none more so than the massive levels of liquidity in the market.
