Michigan Law Firm - Warner Norcross + Judd LLP

With the Federal Reserve widely expected to cut interest rates in the coming months, Josie Boucher told Crain’s Grand Rapids Business she expects the pace of mergers and acquisitions will continue to accelerate as we turn the corner into 2025.

Boucher, executive partner of the Kalamazoo office of Warner Norcross + Judd LLP, said prospective buyers will benefit from having access to cheaper capital, which will quicken the pace of deal flow. Noting she and her colleagues in the Corporate Practice Group have been having a good year in terms of M&amp;A transactions, she expects the trend to continue – and to benefit both sides of the transaction.

“I think things are going to pick up even more than they are now, and there will be better valuations for sellers because the money’s not going to be quite so expensive for buyers,” Boucher told Crain’s Grand Rapids. “They’re going to have more negotiating room on valuations, and that may bring more sellers to the market as well. We’re really looking forward to a busy 2025.”

Drawing on a comprehensive understanding of both the big-picture perspectives and the nuanced details of M&amp;A transactions, Warner’s mergers and acquisitions attorneys counsel and represent a wide range of clients. These include Fortune 500 corporations that operate internationally; high-profile private equity firms; mid-market, private and publicly traded companies; family-owned businesses and family offices. The firm represents sellers, buyers, investors, independent director committees, management groups and other participants in M&amp;A transactions across the nation.
