MVA Attorneys Present Cross-Border M&A Insights at American Chamber of Commerce in Italy
Moore & Van Allen’s (MVA) Corporate Member Scott Syfert, Head of International Markets John I. Sanders, and Financial Services Associate Will Reeves recently presented at the American Chamber of Commerce office in Milan, Italy on June 10.
The team addressed its fellow AmCham members — including representatives from leading Italian multinationals, law firms, and advisors — on current trends in cross-border M&A activity. Their discussion highlighted that Q1 2025 deal volume by USD surpassed that of Q1 2024, despite ongoing tariff uncertainty, and the MVA team has been very active on a range of M&A transactions. The presentation also offered reasons for optimism, including resilient U.S. and Italian economies, historic levels of private equity dry powder, and anticipated U.S. interest rate cuts. The event concluded with a robust Q&A session.
This engagement was part of a broader week in Milan, further reinforcing MVA’s active presence in the Italian market, closing multiple transactions this year and advising on M&A, equity and debt capital markets, and litigation matters.
