Lessons from over half a million deals with Professor Killian McCarthy

Lessons from over half a million deals with Professor Killian McCarthy
Q: What sparked Killian McCarthy's fascination with studying M&A deals?
He learned that 75% of mergers fail to create value; this contradiction drove him to analyze large-scale data to find the real drivers of success and failure.
Will the $65bln Unilever-McCormick Food deal create value?
Q: Thank you. Today, we're going to try and apply your extensive deal experience to the Unilever McCormick deal. We've both done some homework, so would you mind giving a brief background to the companies and to the deal?
Richard describes Unilever's shift away from foods toward home and personal care, the strategic rationale for disposing the remaining food business, and how McCormick's smaller size and complementary presence created a path to a merged food platform with a staged, value-focused structure.
Post Deal Liabilities with Nicola Lancaster
Q: You mentioned a top tips for people writing SBAs to make them easier to use later—what are your recommendations?
Get a good night's sleep, and always have a peer review to avoid word blind and missed consequences; check boilerplate and structural parts of the SPA as these can make or break a claim.
