Abstract
The mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape is expected to become more active as businesses strive to position themselves for a better economic standing amid the uncertainties brought by the COVID-19 crisis. With the continuously emerging changes, M&A activities are anticipated to thrive in several business sectors including digital and technology, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), IPOs, and consumer markets.
However, along with these opportunities, risk issues remain. Some of these include the evolving regulatory pressures, the ongoing waves of COVID-19 cases, and the recent presidential transition in the US creating potential ambiguities for M&A transactions. Thus, it is of utmost importance for companies and their counsel to be on top of every development and update in this area of law. They must also be more proactive in realigning their practices with the current M&A due diligence practices to ensure sound management of legal risks.
In this LIVE Webcast, mergers and acquisitions experts Patrick Tucker (Abernathy MacGregor) and Fang Shen (Husch Blackwell LLP) will provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of M&A trends and developments in 2021 and beyond. They will also present practical strategies and best practices to manage legal challenges.
Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:
• Recent M&A Trends and Developments
• M&A and COVID-19 Implications
• M&A Activities on Different Sectors
• Risk Issues and Legal Pitfalls
• Practical Tips and Best Practices
• What Lies Ahead
