Boll and Hilfinger Published in Wards Auto on Automotive Dealmaking in 2021

Partner Steve Hilfinger and Associate Christopher Boll authored an article for Wards Auto about what’s driving automotive dealmaking in 2021 and how strong companies have managed to not only recover, but also to take advantage of access to relatively cheap capital and accommodate fiscal policies in the U.S. and Europe.

The article, “What’s Driving Automotive Dealmaking in 2021?” noted major challenges that faced automotive dealmakers through the pandemic and how the mood for auto M&A in 2021 has proved to be one of cautious optimism. They noted key factors expected to drive deal activity including electric vehicles, SPACs, and distressed M&A and industry consolidation.
