Drawing on its experience in the market, Blacktrace recognises that successful cross-border transactions require eyes and ears in places that matter. That is why the firm has increased its efforts to further grow its worldwide network of likeminded M&A boutiques called World M&A Alliance (WMAA). Its current reach stretches from New York to Delhi, from Milan to São Paulo, from Madrid to Sydney. WMAA works with preferred partnerships, having one member per country. Members collaborate on a day-to-day basis and pitch together for deals that need an international project team. Moreover, annual conferences stimulate bilateral contacts. As an example, Blacktrace currently works together on a project with its Irish partner, and as part of this collaborative approach, the firm is able to better support its clients internationally. Meanwhile, the pandemic and related uncertainty in each and every market posed various difficulties for Blacktrace, its clients, and other businesses, but it also brought opportunities and highlighted successes of particular players. The challenges Blacktrace faced were overcome by focusing on the winners and their achievements. Despite the outbreak, it added to its track record various exceptional transactions.
