This course focuses on how legal diligence can impact deal structure and, alternatively, how a definitive transaction structure will impact diligence. The instructor will (i) review a standard diligence request list and discuss what to look for when conducting diligence (on both the acquiring and acquirer side) and (ii) cover practical tips on how to best approach and organize the diligence task. This course will survey various areas of diligence and what issues to anticipate; particular emphasis will be given to assignment and change of control provisions.
