The Australian market for mergers and acquisitions will likely be strong in the coming year, with deals getting more complex and regulators becoming more interventionist, according to a report by Australian law firm Corrs Chambers Westgarth.
In its M&A 2020 outlook report, Corrs says it expects a reduction in M&A activity in the resources sector but “a relatively higher level of activity in healthcare, software, property and telecommunications, fuelled by changes in technology and interest from private equity in these particular sectors”.
