After a rather tepid start to the year, the M&A markets have begun to show signs of renewed life in 2012. The variability in deal activity creates uncertainty and rewards preparedness. Now more than ever, it is critical for dealmakers and their counsel to stay abreast of the latest trends and forecasts. Will the tough markets of the last year give way to greater stability and optimism in the second half of 2012?  How will buyers and sellers adjust their behavior in response to recent experience? How will economic developments drive merger strategy and tactics? How should companies be preparing for approaches by activists? Our expert faculty of lawyers, general counsels, regulators and investment bankers will explore the fascinating state of M&A and the trends you need to be aware of for the year ahead.
