We are excited to announce that Legal Business’ Deals Yearbook 2023 is now available online: https://lnkd.in/eqnwkxcA The report, ‘The wind was taken out of everyone’s sails’, finds that the threats and challenges which were starting to rear their head last year have clearly been catalysed as Russia’s sustained attack on Ukraine continues to have a major impact on inflation and, consequently, pricing. While the data on current deal value and volume is not the jolliest of reads, the sense from the partners at City M&A elite firms that we interviewed, that upheaval in the markets can actually result in opportunity, is more heartening. Elsewhere, in our feature, ‘Got the T-shirt – M&A hall of famers on closing deals in a crisis’, we ask M&A grandees to impart their wisdom on operating during tougher economic times, with valuable insights for younger generation of lawyers coming through. We also asked M&A luminary Andy Ryde to look back on the highs and lows of a more than 35-year career at Slaughter and May as he retires. The Yearbook also comes with a string of informative briefings from our headline sponsor, Eversheds Sutherland, along with many others. Don't miss out!

💡 𝗠𝘆 𝗕𝗗 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟬𝟬𝟭 💡 Business development is always a bit of an unexplained phenomenon. You know what it is when you see it, you kinda know what you should be doing, but you don't always manage to find the time, and it sometimes feels like everyone does it better than you do. ❓ Sometimes I get lost in the BD whirlwind - with so many opportunities and ideas floating around, how do you decide what to run with, which opportunities are the most beneficial for you/for your organisation? So with this in mind, I thought I would give some insight into 'My BD Week' - the mix of work I get involved in - the variety, the ideas. Here's where my mind was at last week... a few exciting things to come from Serle Court I might add. 📌 I worked with Shana Garioch to finalise our #insolvency Mini-BD Plan 💰 BD budget review 🗽 Spoke to some potential sponsors to support our BD activity in New York in November to precede our 6th International Trusts and Commercial Litigation Conference. What is your favourite thing to do in NY? - comment with some ideas below ⬇️ 💻 Scheduled a #training webinar for Jennifer Meech and Matthew Morrison to present their Insolvency Nuts & Bolts briefing to a client in another jurisdiction 🍸 Caught up with Rosie Graham after far too long. We discussed everything from juggling work and motherhood to financial wellbeing P.S. there's no such thing as 'vacation' in chambers any longer #mybdweek #businessdevelopment #chanceryandcommercial #serlecourt #BDteam #serlecourtmarketing
