In this M&A in the City Podcast from KWM, Will Heath is joined by Nicola Charlston, fresh from chairing an M&A committee meeting of the International Bar Association in Tokyo.

Together they discuss:

  • What has (finally) lifted the Nikkei back to its pre 1989 crash level
  • The drivers behind Japanese M&A 
  • The Couche-Tard offer for 7-11
  • Japanese bidders going outbound
  • Domestic and regional politics' impact on dealmaking
  • The market outlook amongst M&A professionals

PLUS Tokyo must do's (and a must drink)!
