White & Case partner and head of UK Public M&A Patrick Sarch was recently quoted in CityAM in relation to our UK Public M&A report and in the light of fresh data from the Office of National Statistics which together showed that domestic UK M&A accelerated in Q2. The total value of UK Public M&A deals is expected to top £50 billion in 2025. Patrick noted that takeover activity is expected to remain 'robust' with strong momentum for the remainder of the year and that "this public market M&A activity is driven less by confidence in the UK economy, which remains fragile, than by the enduring attractions of the UK market".
