‘Hard to Close': PE Stalls Amid Tariff Turmoil
Partner Michael Akkawi was quoted by PitchBook in an article about the effects of the recent tariff changes on private equity deal activity and how they’ve caused PE-backed companies to take a deeper look at their supply chains.
The article reads: “While deal flow in tariff-exposed sectors has faltered, some industries continue to see activity. Akkawi said he is finalizing a deal of a PE firm buying a Canadian company. This deal has not faced any disruptions because the seller operates in an industry that is largely immune to tariffs.”
