City & Financial’s annual M&A Practitioners’ Summit, which is the pre-eminent event for M&A specialists, explores the latest developments and trends in the M&A market.

 

The event will take place against the backdrop of the UK’s recent withdrawal from the EU. This will necessitate significant changes to the City Code to ensure a level playing field where there is a referral to both the Competition and Markets Authority and competition authorities across the EU and internationally. We are delighted that Simon Lindsay, Director General of the Takeover Panel, has confirmed his participation at the event. The programme will also look at the key factors influencing market practice including current economic conditions; climate change transition as a driver of M&A activity; shareholder engagement and activism; and future trends.
