Inside the Deal: Jones Day's Profusek on reasons for optimism in 2009

Published February 4, 2009 at 4:30 PM

Despite dismal economic conditions and sluggish M&A activity, there is cause to be optimistic about dealmaking in 2009, according to Bob Profusek, global head of M&A for Jones Day. In this edition of Inside the Deal, Profusek tells Suzanne Stevens that the M&A market will rebound this year for a number of reasons, including the inability of cash-strapped strategics to refinance debt. The result, says Profusek, is that those companies could be forced to consider mergers or accept outside investors.  See the video above or download it at iTunes.
