Mergers and acquisition are always good for business but a thorough due diligence is critical to minimize risk and ensure a successful take over. Complications from poor due diligence will be very costly for all parties involved. Mergers and acquisitions naturally include a considerable effort of due diligence by the buyer. Prior to binding up with the contract, the buyer will want to ensure that it knows what it is buying and what responsibilities it is assuming, the type and degree of the company’s liabilities, existing challenging contracts, lawsuit risks and intellectual property issues, etc.

This program is designed to enhance and increase knowledge in analyzing structures of mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures by identifying essential principles underlying collaborations and determining key factors of successful mergers and acquisitions. This Workshop also provides pointers for drafting various provisions and typical clauses for Joint Venture Agreements, Share Sale Agreements and Shareholder Agreements and handing cross border M&A deals.
