Real Talk on AEC M&A: How Today’s Trends Set the Stage for Tomorrow’s Deals

M&A activity in the AEC industry continues to evolve from episodic bursts of deal-making to a more disciplined, strategy-driven approach to growth and value creation.

In this webinar, Jeff Adams and Will Swearingen will share front-line insights from their work advising AEC firms through mergers, acquisitions, and ownership transitions. Drawing on both current market activity and insights from their AEC M&A Outlook Report, they will discuss how trends in capital flow, cultural alignment, leadership continuity, and valuation are shaping today’s deal landscape.

More importantly, they will connect these trends to what firms are experiencing now, helping leaders understand what buyers are looking for, what sellers should prepare for, and how firms can position themselves for the next wave of opportunity.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the current drivers of AEC M&A activity based on transaction experience and recent market data.
• Recognize the strategic and cultural factors that influence AEC merger and acquisition deals.
• Assess how firms can prepare for future opportunities from both a buyer and seller perspective.
