9:00 Merger and Acquisition Contracting Basics
Learn from examples drawn from "real" forms used in recent M&A deals, including the 2022 hostile acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk, Microsoft's 2023 acquisition of Activision, Take-Two Interactive Software's 2022 acquisition of Zynga, and many others.
The purpose of this program is to explain why M&A practice is challenging, to highlight key issues, to introduce transactional lawyers to the jargon and provisions commonly used in M&A practice, and to enable them to talk the talk in negotiations and draft appropriate provisions to protect the interests of their clients.
This program includes two 10-minute breaks.
