The European Central Bank cut interest rates for the first time in five years earlier this month, with the Bank of England and Federal Reserve Board widely expected to follow suit before the end of the year. With market expectations for central banks to reduce interest rates in line with lower inflation, will this ease the pressure faced by #commercialrealestate borrowers? Sterling Technology board advisor Harry Iles takes a look under the bonnet of the non-performing loan market.

Are you ready for a digital-first future in #lifesciences dealmaking? Transactions involving digital assets are an increasing focus for #pharmaceuticals, #medicaldevice and #medtech companies. In our new podcast series, life sciences industry M&A veteran John Easton discusses how these differ from traditional life science deals, and what both acquiror and target should look out for to increase the chances of deal success, mitigate risks and avoid failure. In this third episode, we consider the challenges associated with defining and valuing digital assets. Aligning the target’s and acquiror’s views on valuation is obviously key to getting a deal done. Digital assets present some unique challenges for pharmaceutical companies more used to valuing molecules in traditional licensing or acquisition transactions. What techniques do they need to deploy to overcome this hurdle? To listen and download the report accompanying the series, please follow the link at the bottom.
