Hosler Featured in ‘M&A Journal’

St. Louis Partner Stephanie Hosler was featured in the June-July edition of The M&A Journal as part of a virtual roundtable on the current global M&A marketplace. Hosler, BCLP’s global department leader for Corporate & Finance Transactions, commented on changes in the M&A market, expectations for the last two quarters of 2020, changes in deal terms, and law firm life today. “People in the M&A market are expecting, or hoping, to see a pick-up in activity in Q3 and Q4. You’re seeing a recovery of sorts in China as well as other overseas markets. It’s definitely a ‘wait-and-see’ situation, but we are seeing companies begin to rebound,” Hosler told the publication. “From a regulatory perspective, it is taking a little bit longer to get the approvals that are needed on a transaction. Transaction timelines are being stretched more than we've seen previously. As companies and people get more and more comfortable with working from home, we'll see those agencies operate more efficiently and get back to a more normal state.”
