Hosts Lynda Bennett and Eric Jesse build on their recent discussion with Lowenstein M&A Chair and Transactions & Advisory Group co-Chair Marita Makinen about the current state of play in the M&A and private equity space. The co-hosts consider emerging RWI trends and lessons learned from the fast paced deal flow activity of the past several years and the RWI claims that followed. They analyze Makinen's predictions that diligence must become even more careful, especially in light of the increased frequency and severity of RWI claims found by Lowenstein's recent survey, as well as the growing impact of globalization and cyber threats, and how to manage expectations and strike a reasonable balance at the negotiation table.
