    Inside Tech Minds | AI-powered deals – what really makes tech transactions succeed?

    Technology transactions are being reshaped by AI, but the real challenge for leaders is understanding what creates value and what can quietly derail a deal. In this episode of Inside Tech Minds, Carly Gulliver speaks with James Dawson, Corporate Finance Partner, and Damon Rosamond-Lanzetta, Head of Tech Sector at Addleshaw Goddard, about what makes technology transactions succeed in an AI-driven market. Drawing on real-world deal experience, the conversation explores the strategic, operational and commercial decisions that increasingly define successful outcomes. The episode focuses on the issues that matter most during modern technology transactions: why involving advisers early is critical, why integration risk is now a core deal issue rather than a day-two problem, and how overstating “AI-powered” capabilities can conceal significant commercial and operational risks. Topics also include the infrastructure underpinning AI growth from data centres and power through to legacy systems as well as how AI is reshaping governance expectations, value creation and buy-versus-build decisions. Essential listening for CEOs, CIOs, CTOs and deal teams navigating AI-driven transactions with a focus on execution, integration and long-term value rather than hype. Enjoyed the episode?

    Mergerspresso | Is space the final business frontier?

    Episode 28 of Mergerspresso, Addleshaw Goddard’s corporate finance podcast, explores the rapid rise of the space economy and asks whether the final frontier has become the next market. With growing momentum around a potential record-breaking SpaceX IPO and renewed global focus following Artemis II, space is firmly moving into the commercial spotlight. Host Lucy Robson is joined by guests Alex Hogarth and Brian Macreadie to discuss how space has evolved from a government-led endeavour into a fast-growing commercial ecosystem. They examine the rise of low Earth orbit as a hub for satellites, telecoms and data, and the role of private companies in transforming the economics of space through reusable rockets and scalable infrastructure. The episode also explores the increasing importance of public-private partnerships in supporting ambitious projects such as lunar development, and how space is now being viewed through a commercial lens, from supply chains to capital markets. Lucy, Alex and Brian consider what this shift means for investment, innovation and the broader global economy, as space transitions from exploration to a scalable market opportunity.

    Mergerspresso | Is FOMO the best M&A catalyst?

    Episode 27 of Mergerspresso, Addleshaw Goddard’s corporate finance podcast, explores whether fear of missing out is one of the most powerful drivers of M&A activity. Host Lucy Robson is joined by Angus Rollo to discuss how rumours of mega deals and sector consolidation can quickly trigger competitive responses across a market. From insurance to natural resources, they consider how talk of mergers between major players sharpens strategic focus, accelerates partner searches and pushes companies to pursue scale or acquire key capabilities. The episode examines the balance between strategic necessity and reactive deal-making. While consolidation can deliver genuine synergies and competitive advantage, Lucy and Angus reflect on the risks of allowing FOMO to override discipline, particularly in volatile markets where timing and valuation remain critical. Is it a sharp catalyst or an expensive impulse purchase? They unpack the difference, all in the time it takes to make your coffee.

The episode also considers what this shifting landscape means for boards and directors, as governance, disclosure and investor expectations continue to converge, all in the time it takes to make your coffee.

    Mergerspresso | 2026 M&A outlook: Reshaping businesses

    Episode 24 of Mergerspresso, Addleshaw Goddard’s corporate finance podcast, kicks off 2026 by exploring how companies are reshaping their businesses in response to changing markets and shareholder pressure. Host Lucy Robson is joined by guests Chris Taylor and Marton Eorsi to discuss the themes emerging from AG’s 2026 M&A Outlook. The episode examines why divestments and portfolio refocusing are accelerating across retail and consumer businesses, as companies concentrate on their strongest brands, raise capital and respond to weaker consumer confidence. Lucy and Chris discuss how scale, efficiency and brand focus are becoming strategic imperatives as boards look to protect margins and drive long-term value. Turning to energy, Lucy and Marton explore a parallel trend of consolidation and refocusing, with energy majors pivoting back towards core oil and gas assets while selectively divesting renewables. The discussion highlights how security of supply, shifting energy policy priorities and increased investor risk appetite are reshaping deal-making in the sector. Together, the episode sets out why 2026 is likely to see continued strategic M&A as businesses prune, consolidate and reposition themselves for the next phase of growth. For a deeper dive into the trends shaping 2026, AG’s 2026 M&A Outlook brings together detailed insights on the next wave of strategic M&A activity and business reshaping across sectors.
