Some of the recent UK transactions completed by our Corporate team
As we enter the final quarter of 2025, the M&A market is showing signs of cautious optimism. After a quieter 2024 – shaped by political transitions, inflationary pressures, and interest rate volatility – activity is gradually picking up.
The year began with a slowdown in deal activity following Labour’s first budget, which introduced changes to Business Asset Disposal Relief and national insurance. However, confidence began to return mid-year as businesses adapted to the new landscape. Private equity firms are re-engaging with the market, particularly through bolt-on acquisitions and buy-and-build strategies across sectors such as tech, healthcare, professional services, and software.
