Our Shared Success<br />
2014 M&A Year in Review<br />
Dear Clients and Friends:<br />
We are grateful for the opportunity to have worked with so many of you during<br />
2014 on some of the year’s most complex and interesting transactions across<br />
multiple industries around the world.<br />
This past year, your transactions helped propel the global M&A market to its<br />
highest aggregate transaction value since 2007. This rise in activity resulted, in<br />
part, from a record number of cross-border transactions and exits in private equity,<br />
a rebound in European deals, and tremendous growth in U.S. M&A activity, as well<br />
as significant expansion in the consumer; energy; life sciences; and technology,<br />
media and telecoms sectors.<br />
We are pleased to present you with our M&A Year in Review. We hope you enjoy<br />
this summary of the successes we shared, as client and counsel, during 2014. If we<br />
can provide you with additional inform<a title="Hogan Lovells 2014 M&A Year in Review page 1" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/b1f1d0fd?page=1"> Our Shared Success 2014 M&A Year in Review</a>
