Overview
Why You Should Attend
The M&A market has seen a flurry of activity in 2017 with ups and downs, as macroeconomic trends and expectations continue to seesaw. In addition to the continued high volumes, the market has also seen a number of hostile deals, creative deal structures, shareholder activist campaigns, and developments in Delaware M&A jurisprudence, as well as deal technology. This year’s program will also include the first-time addition of an in-house lawyers’ panel, which will give us insights into “views from the inside.” 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)
- In-house counsel perspective on M&A deals and outside advisers
- 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.
