Eric Swedenburg, Co-Head of Simpson Thacher’s Mergers & Acquisitions Practice, was quoted in a Bloomberg article titled, “M&A Boom Shows No Sign of Abating After Epic First Half.” The article discussed the record level of M&A transactions announced in the first half of 2021 and features commentary from prominent dealmakers on their thoughts on the current market environment and potential dealmaking activity for the remainder of the year. In discussing the current environment Eric said that, “You’ve kind of got this Goldilocks moment right now where there are large numbers of both sellers and buyers without any meaningful value disconnect. That kind of perfect match environment doesn’t happen all that often but we’ve got it right now,” and noted that he expects the remainder of the year to remain as busy, if not busier, than the first half.
