Since March 2020, over 80% of the deals McGill and Partners have advised on have been in the technology sector. Whether it is software as a service, enterprise risk management, fintech, or technology infrastructure, what is clear is that clients of both McGill and Partners and Orrick recognize the resilience of the sector and are continuing to pursue these deals. In this series of notes, we seek to highlight some of the factors that tech investors need to consider to maximise the benefits of M&A insurance. Our first issue focuses on some key considerations for most tech M&A, with subsequent editions diving deeper into specific sub-sectors.
