Navigating Ahead: Preparing for a rebound in dealmaking

Tuesday, May 20, 2025


DLA Piper and Needham & Company hosted an informative seminar on the corporate finance activity outlook for 2025. We discussed the latest trends, growth opportunities, and challenges in the current mergers and acquisitions (M&A), initial public offering (IPO), and growth equity environments. Additionally, we explored the anticipated impact of future activities on emerging growth companies.

Following the program, we had cocktails and conversation in DLA Piper's offices atop the Columbia Center.
