March Women x Shoosmiths Spring M&A Update Breakfast - the highlights Recently Shoosmiths hosted our biannual M&A update breakfast in their beautiful social space. Our brilliant cross-industry panelists - Claire Checketts, Laura McNaughton and Federica Titon - discussed the current challenges and trends, from complex investments structuring, to pricing issues, to building integrated teams of trusted advisors across the deal lifecycle to support clients. They also shared some excellent war stories, ranging from keeping a cool head when the client storms out and using every which means to get signatures on documents as the deadline rapidly approached. Key takeaways included: ★ Aggressive negotiation tactics are passé ★ There is power in being underestimated; use it to your advantage ★ Clients expect their advisers to be integrated and an extension of their team ★ Notwithstanding tech and AI, relationships and trust are increasingly at the heart of doing deals ★ There is no such thing as a straightforward deal, something will always go wrong - be ready to find solutions ★ Senior women need to be genuine allies to the junior women and help them bypass the roadblocks, not suffer them and "pay their dues"
