CDT Roundup: 10 Deals, 5 Firms, 52 Lawyers, $1.68B

Intralinks – an electronic data room provider to the dealmaking industry – is out with its latest deal flow predictor, which is based on sell-side M&A transactions around the world that are in preparation or have begun their due diligence phase.

The results were even better than last time – a 5% improvement is expected for the second half of 2019 over the same period last year, versus the firm’s previous prediction of 2%. Intralinks expects the strongest growth in worldwide deal announcements to come from the energy and power, industrials and materials sectors.
