Managing the Legal Aspects of Mergers and Acquisitions
A working programme in legal aspects of mergers and acquisitions for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
The cost of getting legal aspects of mergers and acquisitions wrong is rarely the judgment; it is the years spent reaching it. Ambiguity in mergers and acquisitions is resolved against the party that drafted it. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this part of legal and contractual practice. Plans for legal aspects of mergers and acquisitions often fail at the handover point between functions. Comparative studies of the legal and contractual practice capability across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The course covers mergers and acquisitions at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of legal aspects of mergers and acquisitions and supervised application. The programme works equally well for those formalising mergers and acquisitions for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this area of legal and contractual practice that participants can repeat annually.
