To mark this year’s anniversary, VentureCapital Magazine has published a special edition on “25 years of Private Equity Forum NRW”. In an article, Marius Rosenberg, partner at our law firm, sheds light on the developments in M&A transactions over the last 25 years, not only from a legal perspective, and takes a look at exciting future trends.
Central topics of the article are:
- Digitalization and the use of artificial intelligence have accelerated and refined the due diligence process. This results in more detailed and comprehensive M&A contracts.
- New topics such as ESG, data protection and cyber security are having an increasing impact on contract design.
- Private equity investors are becoming increasingly involved in the SME sector, which is changing the structure of M&A agreements – particularly with regard to post-closing agreements and exit strategies.
- Cross-border transactions are now also part of everyday life for SMEs. This requires not only intercultural competence from consultants, but also even better project management.
