Course description

Corporate Finance Law School: Module 1 - Legal Guide to Mergers and Acquisitions
A Legal Guide to Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) will give you a superior understanding of the legal, commercial and financial aspects of international M&A processes, the strategic priorities and approaches of the various deal players, the documents typical to M&A deals, and the legal challenges you are likely to face.
This course will give you a thorough understanding of the wide variety of skills that all parties involved in cross-border acquisitions must possess – for example, the ability to read and digest financial information, successfully communicate with the relevant parties, whilst juggling a diverse range of international commercial and legal issues.
By the end of the programme, you will have the skills and knowledge needed to ensure your deal does not fail due to delays, illogical pricing, or unnecessary/inaccurate terms.
The course is designed to be highly practical and features hands on workshop sessions and case studies.
