Very busy rn… Maybe just because it’s MM
PS: for reference I’m at nonB4 (kroll/HL/A&M) and run into a lot of the same clients as you guys

Ugh! In healthcare we are certainly not slow. I wish!
Coach
All my mega fund PE clients have effectively shut down new activity until after Labor Day. Smaller opportunistic stuff happening but much quieter than we’ve been running at since the Covid pause
Coach
The slow down currently is more macro interest rate environment driven than summer seasonality. Things sometimes quiet down a little in late summer (and more so if you work with more Europeans). Winter holidays can be a little slower, but also subject to getting pinched by the “need to get this done by end of year” mentality (and especially so in years with meaningful tax changes). Long way of saying there aren’t many dependable slow periods, enjoy the breaks when you get them.
August is typically the slowest month of the year. Also a lot of availability in our group

Relatively new to the group is this the case usually? I checkEd and a ton of higher up (SM’s and partners) people are on vacation right now
Subject Expert
I wouldn’t say slow but this is normal. You are comparing this year to last year which had the highest M&A activity
Literally all of Europe is on vacation too a good chunk of our work comes from them
Pretty busy here.
