This course is designed to give students real-world experience in the corporate dealmaking process, from the decision to pursue a strategic transaction to first contact between the parties and drafting and negotiating the definitive documents that memorialize the transaction. Over the semester, we will break down the primary documents of strategic transactions/M&A to develop a fundamental understanding of how those components interact with the overall business deal. Students will analyze and learn to understand how and why the key provisions of these transaction agreements are negotiated, bearing in mind client goals and interests and the allocation of risk negotiated among the deal parties.
We will also discuss the intangible aspects of dealmaking that are just as critical to successful transactions. Specifically, we will discuss the financial, professional, and personal motivations of various deal parties and the psychology and tactical dynamics of a deal process. As strategic transactions take place throughout the semester, we will also stop to dissect these real-world examples in real time to provide informative case studies.
