M&A was in the doldrums last year for law firms.

Clayton Utz partner Karen Evans-Cullen believes the fundamentals are right for an M&A revival, and she tells us why in this Australasian Lawyer TV report.

Don't miss her predictions on where the big opportunities will be, and how M&A targets can ramp up competitive tension to increase deal premiums.
