Cravath Publishes Quarterly Review on Q1 2021 Trends in M&A, Activism and Corporate Governance

In May 2021, Cravath published the latest edition of its Quarterly Review, which examines the Q1 2021 M&A, activism and corporate governance landscape. The Review provides an overview of activity in those areas, highlights notable cases in the M&A space, shares trends in activism activity and notes key developments in corporate governance over the period. The Q1 2021 edition considers the continued momentum of the strong global M&A market, resulting in the most active first quarter and highest deal value for a quarter in the United States in at least 20 years. The Review also notes the strong quarter for private equity and the increase in M&A activity and initial public offerings (“IPOs”) by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”).
