Webinar | M&A in an uncertain world: How to manage the risks to growth

The challenges of entering new markets via a merger or acquisition (M&A) are evolving. Tensions have escalated dramatically between Russia, China and the West and regional competition and conflicts have grown, exacerbated by more frequent environmental crises related to climate change.

This turbulent landscape requires an advanced approach to M&A due diligence, which goes well beyond traditional legal concerns. In this webinar – the first in a new series on optimising growth and mitigating risk in an uncertain world – FiscalNote’s advisory specialists will explore how you can incorporate analysis of geopolitical risk when considering an M&A deal, and best protect your operations and reputation.

In the webinar, we will cover:

• Why traditional due diligence is no longer enough when considering new markets and partners
• Four risks that companies will often overlook when considering M&As – but shouldn’t
• The four essential elements that you must consider in order to reduce risk and maximise M&A opportunities – especially in high-risk locations
• The surprising key to gathering good intelligence before entering an M&A deal
• CASE STUDY: How a multinational company considering an acquisition in sub-Saharan Africa gained an understanding of the strategic, political and ESG risks across 15 potential market

This webinar will take place on Tuesday, 17 October at 1100hrs New York / 1600hrs London / 1700hrs Paris, and it will include an opportunity for you to pose questions to our panel.
