In this second episode of the series, Ashurst colleagues James Fletcher, Harry Thimont and Jade Jack review the year to date and the ongoing impact that geopolitics is having on the public markets. There has been no lessening of the volatility which marked the start of the year but, where broader global M&A appears to have dropped off, there has been a flurry of UK public M&A. The trio describe the trends they are seeing in the market, recent publications by the Panel and what to expect for the rest of the year. The episode is intended to sit alongside, and complement, our quarterly publication which is available on our website. The publication looks at key highlights and market developments in the second quarter, as well as relevant legal and regulatory developments. The publication also includes tables summarising the key features of firm offer announcements made during the quarter.
