Dykema’s 19th Annual M&A Outlook Survey

We canvassed CEOs, CFOs, and other professionals involved in M&A activities with their respective firms to gauge their insights and perspectives on the M&A market in the coming 12 months.

The results provide a snapshot of the M&A market and the economy this year and how they compare from previous years.


We understand the complexities of a shifting tax landscape. We counsel a diverse group of corporate and nonprofit clients, as well as high-net-worth individuals on innumerable federal statutory tax requirements. Our comprehensive tax services include strategic solutions to both routine tax issues and the most complex federal tax challenges.

We thoroughly assess the potential tax impact for clients involved in establishing, buying, selling, restructuring, or liquidating a range of businesses, so that they can limit their tax liabilities. We monitor new opportunities for deferring or reducing tax liabilities for corporations and pass-through entities, including limited liability companies, partnerships and S corporations and work with them to develop and appropriately implement strategic tax plans.
