General Session - Tariffs, Taxes & Transactions: Policy Shifts Reshaping 2026 M&A
This session explores how evolving tariff regimes, corporate tax reforms, and global minimum tax adoption are reshaping deal valuation, structure, and cross-border strategy. A panel of experts—a private equity investor, investment banker, and tax advisor—will translate these policy shifts into practical guidance: how to model tariff and tax exposure, build flexibility into deal structures, and uncover opportunities amid uncertainty. Attendees will gain clear, actionable insights for pricing, diligence, and negotiation in a rapidly changing 2026 policy environment.
