This course is designed to provide a deeper understanding of the overall M&A process, from inception to closing of a deal. The course starts by providing an overview of the practical steps, key considerations, and documentation that are involved at each stage of the deal process, and then leads participants through preparing a closing checklist with an emphasis on learning how to identify relevant considerations and documentation. Particular focus will be given to the junior associate and in-house counsel role in the process; to exemplify, participants will work through a short exercise in which they are asked to assume the role of a junior associate in preparing and coordinating the closing checklist, taking into account the various considerations discussed in the group session.
