As the exclusive UK member firm of the Terra Alliance international M&A network, Quercus International is pleased to note that the Alliance’s 15 member firms completed 143 transactions in 2025 with a combined value in excess of US$27 billion.

This strong performance was achieved against a backdrop of continued global economic headwinds and highlights the resilience of the Alliance’s member firms and their ability to deliver successful outcomes for clients across a range of market conditions.

Around half of completed transactions were concentrated in Industrial Products & Services, Consumer Products & Services and Business Services, reflecting the depth of expertise and sustained deal activity across these core sectors.

Over the five-year period to December 2024, Terra Alliance firms completed a total of 679 transactions with an aggregate value of more than US$210 billion, underlining the scale and consistency of the Alliance’s global platform.

During the year, Alliance members met to discuss opportunities and active pipelines at M&A origination conferences held in Paris and Rio. Looking ahead, further conferences are planned for 2026 in Rotterdam and Mumbai, continuing to support collaboration and cross-border deal origination across the network.

Andrew Clegg, Partner at Quercus, commented:

“In a market that continues to demand both selectivity and trust, the Alliance’s strength lies in the quality of relationships between its member firms. The face-to-face conferences held during the year are a critical part of how those relationships are built and maintained, enabling meaningful collaboration and the sharing of opportunities. These long-standing personal connections set the Alliance apart and continue to support the delivery of successful outcomes for our clients.”
