Why you should attend:
The M&A market has been experiencing a period of great expectations, with economic anxiety creating uncertainty about the future. Increased volumes of tender offers, hostile deals, activist campaigns, as well as spin-offs, has been an important trend, while the use of innovative structuring mechanisms, such as contingent value rights, has been another. M&A participants continue to raise questions about what “the market” for deal terms is, whether buyers or sellers now have the upper hand, and whether the M&A market will return to robust volumes. These questions, along with the new deal technology and case law emerging to address them, 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
- Using innovative deal structures to get the deal done: the use and abuse of earnouts, CVRs and dual-track merger/tender offers
