What You Need to Know
- Deal flow remains strong with eight deals over $1 billion as well as a $35.6 billion snack deal last week.
- But companies are still looking to find the cheapest debt and many companies owned by PE firms are utilizing liability management exercises to help that process.
All indicators point to continuing growth in deal flow through 2024, a welcome occurrence after years of uncertainty and lower-than-normal workloads. Last week saw one of the largest deals of the year, guided by a bevy of Big Law firms and strong showings in deal count of over $1 billion (eight) and debt offerings over $500 million (15).
