Gavin Davies has published a video for Practical Law in which he outlines how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting new M&A activity in the UK and Europe, including its impact on levels of M&A activity, the practical challenges of conducting M&A while the pandemic continues, how deal processes are adapting, and the response of (and impact on) other market participants such as banks, insurers and regulators.

The video covers:

  • anticipated impact of COVID-19 on new deals;
  • practical difficulties in progressing deals;
  • impact on M&A deal processes and structures;
  • availability of debt finance and W&I insurance; and
  • impact on merger control and FDI restrictions.
