This course exposes students to challenges faced in structuring, negotiating and documenting complex financial transactions and their broader economic and regulatory contexts. The course introduces students pragmatically to basic legal and financial concepts and then applies them to a range of transactions. The course balances the theory, policy and practice of financial transactions and explores how sophisticated contracts and legal structures can be used to manage risk, align investor goals, and create value.
The course is taught by Allan Marks, a partner at Milbank LLP. He is based in Los Angeles and also teaches a course on Energy & Infrastructure Project Finance each spring at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley.
Attendance at ALL class sessions is mandatory for course credit. The format is mainly a conversational lecture, with in-class student participation expected, plus a practical take-home exercise.
