At the same time, U.S. lawmakers have been busy, intensifying their review of M&A deal activity, in particular cross-border transactions. In our Global M&A 2014 Mid-Year Report, we take a closer look at some of the critical issues our clients and deal teams have encountered during this busy first half of the year, as well as examine how new regulations and case law are changing the landscape for deal making.
