A Hands-On Approach to Mergers and Acquisitions

***This class is for ELLM students only*** This course, taught by an M&A partner with more than 20 years of experience in cross-border M&A transactions, focuses on the practical aspects of private M&A transactions, taking students through the entire process of a deal, from drafting transaction documents to negotiating and closing deals. This course will examine hotly debated current issues and provide an overview of the key concepts, drivers, and frameworks of corporate transactions governed under New York law. Among other topics, the professor, through in-class interviews with specialists that deal with M&A issues regularly, will address the impact of AI, privacy and data security in M&A transactions, and the importance of successfully navigating CFIUS and trade regulation on cross-border deals. This course draws on real-world case studies and includes workshops on drafting provisions, analyzing contract breaches and negotiating cross-border transactions.
