The seminar will explore how corporate mergers, acquisitions, sales and business combinations are conceived, structured, negotiated and documented. We will focus on transactions between publicly held corporations. We will use documents from actual transactions or forms to examine the principal recurring issues that arise from inception to closing of a deal. The seminar will emphasize the competing interests of buyers, sellers and other affected parties, and how counsel for each party often addresses those conflicting interests.
