Alan Klein, Co-Head of Simpson Thacher’s Mergers & Acquisitions Group, was quoted in a Bloomberg Law article on M&A activity in the first half of 2019. In the article, Alan discusses the impact that the market break in December, the government shutdown earlier in 2019, the trade wars and tariffs have had on the M&A market in the U.S. in the first half of 2019. “I think the market has been choppy as a result [of these factors] and there has been a little more uncertainty around what the direction of the economy is, what the real underlying costs are going to be and so I think there’s an element of caution that’s been interjected into the market,” Alan said.
Simpson Thacher was also mentioned for being one of the top five law firms in deal volume by principal in the first half of 2019, according to Bloomberg data.
