Read about some of the key trends and a comparison of the reports in: What's Market in Canada, eh?. A Comparison of Two Canadian Private Target M&A Deal Point Studies.
The foregoing provides only an overview and does not constitute legal advice. Readers are cautioned against making any decisions based on this material alone. Rather, specific legal advice should be obtained.
