CBA SKILLED LAWYER SERIES 2017


Business Acquisition: Deal Tactics and Boardroom Strategies

The success of an M&A deal depends on solid legal advice from inception through closing. Lawyers advising buyers or targets need to understand the business and legal considerations of both sides in a deal. This session will examine the tactics of buyers and sellers and the strategic processes implemented by Boards of Directors, and how they can influence the process and outcome of a business acquisition.

After this webinar, you will be able to:

• Appreciate how buyers approach transactions and how they engage with targets
• Provide strategic legal support to both buyers and target businesses as they seek to maximize opportunities and minimize risks that arise in M&A deals
• Understand the key considerations that a Board will need to address in considering an M&A proposal, either as a buyer or a target
• Develop strategies for structuring the acquisition or sale of a business

This is the 7th session of the Legal Lifecycle of a Business webinar series.
