A Baker & McKenzie report shows that the value of cross-border mergers and acquisitions rose by 10 per cent to US375bn ($A518bn) in the September 2015 quarter. However, the number of transactions fell by 16 per cent year-on-year. Baker & McKenzie partner David Holland expects an increase in the proportion of M&A deals that are cross-border transactions. Meanwhile, data from Dealogic shows that some $US88.9bn worth of M&A deals involving Australian companies have been announced so far in 2015.
