The Deal Economy: Predictions and Perspectives 2020 | The Deal | 21 September 2020 | VIRTUAL EVENT

As the markets adjusts to a new volatile normal of fluctuating valuations and financial instability, dealmakers, too, have adjusted. Many companies have been forced to look at new financial levers they can pull to stabilize their business, be it bringing in outside investors, selling’s assets, changing management teams or re-evaluating core capital expenditures.

What are the best paths toward long term shareholder value creation for dealmakers? With additional challenges and increased risk in every transaction, how have dealmakers refreshed their toolbox of risk mitigation strategies and insurance to protect themselves from deal announcement to close?

Join The Deal and a roster of senior corporate executives, private equity and institutional investors, and corporate advisers for The Deal Economy. This virtual event features four days of online sessions exploring the opportunities, obstacles and risks dealmakers face in the current environment and how to navigate through them.
