AI in the Deal Room: What Dealmakers Think Will Come Next

At this year’s SS&C Intralinks AI Bootcamp, we convened a select group of corporate development, legal advisory and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) integration professionals at Dorsey & Whitney in Dallas, TX, and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman in Palo Alto, CA.

 

Host Ari Kaplan, a legal industry analyst and author, asked how they’re leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) across the deal life cycle, where they’re seeing measurable gains and what challenges remain.

 

This report captures exclusive insights from the closed-door discussion, including:

• Practical efficiency gains across the deal life cycle
• How agentic AI is entering everyday workflows
• The trust and governance issues slowing adoption
• What dealmakers expect to tackle next with AI
