Allen & Overy Luxembourg has announced that it is launching the Mergers and Acquisitions Forum (M&A Forum), the first of its kind in the Grand Duchy; the M&A Forum will take place on Thursday 16 June 2022 and is open to the public online.

M&A transactions continue to hit the headlines in Luxembourg. From a continued consolidation trend in the private banking and insurance sector to recent deals for regulated third-party ManCos, corporate service providers and real estate, the Grand Duchy has become a hot spot for domestic and cross-border M&A across all industries.

This is why Allen & Overy has created the M&A Forum. The event will bring together a mix of market-leading professionals and C-level practitioners, who will tackle the latest market trends, share best practice and experience from recent domestic and cross-border M&A.

Highlights of the agenda include a discussion with local experts on the status of the Luxembourg M&A market across various sectors, perspectives on the international M&A market through the lens of the Allen & Overy network, M&A deal dynamics with a focus on human resources, environmental, social and governance (ESG), data and tech challenges and what to expect in 2022 and beyond.

Fabian Beullekens, Head of the Luxembourg Corporate and M&A practice of Allen & Overy, explained: "If you want to learn more about domestic and cross-border M&A activity in Luxembourg, this is the event for you. You will discover why ESG could be a deal breaker, what creates value and synergies and how M&A helps businesses grow and thrive. We hope to see many of you at the M&A Forum which is set to be interactive and insightful".
