Course Description
This course will introduce students to the world of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) in legal practice. The focus will be on the practicalities of conducting a deal, particularly the lawyer’s role in these transactions.
Learning Objectives
Students will also engage in hands-on practice, simulating assignments that junior M&A lawyers will work on. At the end of the course, students will engage in a mock M&A negotiation. This will require use of the skills and discussion of the issues learnt during the course, including creating the appropriate documentation for a deal and negotiating the concerns raised.
