Foley & Lardner LLP partner Louis Lehot is highlighted in Mergers & Acquisitions’ special series, “The 2026 M&A Outlook.”

The series gathered insights from 50 dealmakers and advisors on trends shaping the M&A landscape, including dealmaking conditions, financing, exits, and macroeconomic forces.

Sharing his outlook for the year ahead, Lehot shared that an environment with “lower interest rates, more deregulation, a more balanced budget, predictable terms of trade and with uncertainty over tax rates removed” would help to spur economic recovery in 2026.
