This course will provide an introduction to mergers & acquisitions (M&A) practice from the perspective of a lawyer working on an M&A transaction. After acquainting students with the basics of M&A such as the different types of M&A transactions, the course will follow the actual life cycle of an M&A deal, starting with important preliminaries such as conflicts clearance, progressing through due diligence and drafting and negotiating a transaction agreement, and concluding with the obstacles that could arise to successful closing of a deal. There will be several opportunities for practical and interactive exercises, as students will be divided into teams representing either the acquirer or the target company, and will then go through the actual steps where lawyers interact with one another during the course of a deal.
