(openPR) - Mergers and acquisitions activity has increased threefold in the US market since the year 2000 with companies scrambling to consolidate their positions in the face of increasing global competition.

Carlton Hedges & Associates spokesperson, Walt Lecter, commented “We have seen an almost explosive growth in Mergers and acquisitions in the market over the last few years.” He then went on to say “Here in New York we have an average of nine acquisitions per week and there is no sign of it slowing down.” He commented further that” The majority of acquisitions that Carlton Hedges & Associates deal with are all tax related with companies looking to offset the cost of the acquisition against their capital gains in order to show a book loss at the end of the accounting period.”
