Leaders in Cross Border M&A – Creating global valuation arbitrages

The technology markets are today a level playing field. While the US markets dominate the global spend and the global consumption, the emerging markets have turned out to be innovators as well. Several billion dollar firms and unicorns have sprung up around the globe, especially in Europe and Asia. The global stock exchanges have left the doors wide open for technology firms to take their companies public in several markets beyond the Nasdaq, NYSE and the LSE. As a result of this, valuation arbitrages have sprung up in the IT industry. In addition to this, labor arbitrages have also been created between the developed and the emerging economies, especially the BRICS markets.

Cross border M&A is a perfect model to leverage on these arbitrages for the mutual benefit of both the buyers and sellers. S&L is a global leader in Cross Border M&A, in enterprise technology software and services markets. S&L has a proven track record of having helped sell side clients in US, UK and Asia close deals with public listed companies across the globe.
