Dykema’s M&A Deal Momentum Continues in 2021

Although dropping off from the record deal volume we had during the fourth quarter of 2020, this year has gotten off to a strong start. All told, we closed 17 transactions, including seven in the DSO space alone. The other 10 transactions included deals in the lighting, childcare centers, food and beverage, funeral services, entertainment, automotive, printing and graphics and accounting services industry segments. The average deal size for the first quarter of 2021 was nearly $29 million. Given the number of in-process deals currently in our pipeline, we expect our deal volume to remain high through the second quarter.
