PE Hub featured insights from Private Equity Practice Co-chair Matthew Simpson in an article that discusses the impact of tariffs on dealmaking.

In the article, Matt observes that recent changes have reduced companies' exposure to tariffs more broadly but have contributed to more volatility in the markets, resulting in some pauses in diligence and pricing processes. He says, "In tariff-exposed sectors – such as manufacturing, industrials, and businesses with complex supply chains – buyers have taken a brief ‘wait-and-see’ approach to recalibrate pricing and risk allocation. When these deals resume, we often see re-pricing or structural adjustments, but ultimately, few transactions have been abandoned altogether.”
