Overview

Why You Should Attend

The M&A market has returned to a period of increased activity, characterized by the reemergence of larger transactions.   In addition to large deals, the market has also seen a flurry of cross-border “inversion” transactions (which have been slowed by recent regulatory action), as well as spin-offs and a record number of activist campaigns. Continued high levels of M&A litigation is also giving rise to a flurry of decisions and bench rulings that inform practitioners’ views on the latest “M&A deal technology.”  These trends and developments are among the points that will be discussed at the Doing Deals program.

A prominent faculty of top lawyers and investment bankers will share their years of experience and teach you how best to represent your clients by creatively structuring, coordinating and managing M&A transactions.

What You Will Learn

  • How to choose a transaction structure: Navigating the world of mergers and tender offers
  • Special considerations when doing cross-border deals, including “inversion” transactions, and private equity deals
  • The critical importance of pre-deal documents, such as confidentiality agreements (including recent case law on use restrictions and “don’t ask, don’t waive” standstills)
  • Developments in Delaware law relating to M&A deals
  • The nuts and bolts of definitive agreements – representations and warranties, covenants, conditions and indemnification provisions
  • How to launch or defend against a hostile deal or an activist hedge fund

 Who Should Attend

The program is geared to attorneys in private practice or in-house corporate counsel who seek a practical overview of key issues that arise in the most common types of corporate transactions. This is a full overview of all the skills you need to structure a transaction, draft preliminary and definitive agreements and perform the appropriate due diligence.
