"IMAP teams across the world were very active in the first quarter and even completed several transactions in March despite escalation of the Covid-19 crisis. While a significant drop-off in M&A activity is expected in Q2, IMAP partners will leverage decades worth of experience in navigating volatile market scenarios to continue serving clients in the challenging times ahead."
