Pent-up demand combined with likely changes next year in taxes for
capital gains and private equity firms' carried interest will make
2010 a year jam-packed with middle market media M&A deals, says
investment banker Scott Peters, the co-president of The Jordan
Edmiston Group Inc., in The Deal's video. The fourth quarter may
prove a "disaster as companies rush to close deals before the 12/31
window" and competition for the services of bankers and law firms
will be fierce as dealmakers struggle to complete transactions
before year's end. The interview with Peters is part of our special
series on Faces of the Middle Market. Read the full story in The
Deal magazine, watch the videos, listen to the podcasts and read
