The CBA Competition Law and Foreign Investment Review Section’s Young Lawyers Committee presents:

Planning for Mergers & JVs 101: Nuts and Bolts

January 18, 2023 | 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM Eastern
Online (Zoom)

The following session is the first of a series of sessions hosted by the Young Lawyers Committee addressing the legwork involved with ensuring a successful merger or joint venture transaction. Before an agreement is even signed, competition lawyers must coordinate and conduct planning relating to ensuring compliance with the Competition Act and Investment Canada Act.

This first session will address the preliminary competition and foreign investment review analysis. For example, what preliminary analysis is done? What questions should lawyers ask their clients? What are the issues to look out for at the initial planning stage?
