Health Care, Energy, Consolidating Industries to Lead M&A in 2015

After a surge in mergers and acquisitions in 2014, Kirkland & Ellis LLP partner Sarkis Jebejian says the momentum should be sustained next year. Jebejian says this is due to confidence among boards and CEOs, along with strong equity market valuations. Jebejian also weighs in cross-border transactions after a year where tax inversion deals dominated the headlines. Amid the government's attempts to curb tax inversions, Jebejian says that's caused many companies to rethink potential deals, but he expects the trend of traditional cross-border transactions to continue. Plus, as M&A activity was hot across sectors in 2014, Jebejian reveals in which sectors he expects to see the most deals next year.
