Dechert partner Dr. Markus P. Bolsinger, LL.M. was recently interviewed by Mergermarket for its "Mid-Market M&amp;A: Dealmaking opportunities in 2017" report, which examines anticipated trends as well as the uncertainty looming over North American mid-market M&amp;A activity for the year ahead amid sliding deal activity and worldwide political volatility. "People are expecting a handful of things from the new president that are consistent with the Republican agenda, such as deregulation of the financial industry,” Dr. Bolsinger explains. “These could create some sector-specific opportunities that people are already looking into."While 2016 saw North American mid-market dealmaking decrease through Q3, private equity activity remained strong with 781 PE deals valued at US$1 billion and inbound mid-market M&amp;A also increased 21% in North America from Q1-Q3.With a new year ahead, how will these trends continue to shape the market?
