M&A+: The Art After The Deal

Most M&A podcasts obsess over deal sourcing, valuation multiples, and closing dynamics. Lisa Scott's M&A+ flips that script by focusing squarely on what happens after the ink dries -- and frankly, that is where most deal value gets created or destroyed. Scott hosts roughly weekly conversations with M&A thought leaders, integration specialists, and legal experts who have lived through the messy reality of combining two organizations. With 24 episodes featuring guests from private equity, corporate development, and legal advisory backgrounds, the show covers post-merger integration, contract management during transitions, carve-outs, divestitures, and the organizational change management that nobody wants to talk about until it is too late. A recent standout episode brought on Rob Taylor to discuss AI, law, and post-merger reality -- examining how AI-related risks and IP considerations reshape due diligence and integration playbooks. Other episodes tackle cross-border deal execution, digital asset considerations in M&A, and the tax and regulatory tangles that surface months after closing. The podcast is sponsored by Intuitive Edge (In2edge), which specializes in contract review and transition support during acquisitions, so there is a natural emphasis on the legal and operational infrastructure of deal integration. Episodes run about 45 to 50 minutes, giving guests room to share real war stories rather than surface-level summaries. For deal lawyers and integration teams who know that closing is just the beginning, this podcast fills a gap nobody else is addressing.
