Class Content

Overview

This class introduces participants to the concept of M&A in broad terms. It starts by examining what constitutes an M&A transaction and what drives typical M&A deals. The instructor will use examples of recent M&A deals to illustrate these concepts. The class then moves on to the practical aspects of identifying and differentiating between the different structural alternatives available for an M&A transaction, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each in a given context, including corporate, tax, liability, and other considerations.

Learn big-picture M&A concepts such as typical deal structures (SPA, APA, Merger) and key criteria for selecting a structure (including corporate, tax, and liability issues), then apply your new knowledge to real-world scenarios by drafting a client memo for a proposed transaction. 

Level: Basic-Foundational

This class is suitable for attorneys at any level who have a general interest in M&A but have not had extensive practical experience in this practice area.

Objectives

  • Identify and differentiate between structural alternatives for an M&A transaction

Simulation Exercise
