SUMMARY:Better safe than sorry
DESCRIPTION:After the frenzied years of M&amp\;A in the mid-2000s\, where
  due diligence was at best a cost and at worst a nuisance\, a new econom
 ic and regulatory environment has led to a complete change of attitude b
 y buyers towards due diligence. Moreover\, given the constant evolution 
 of this environment\, the risk of something occurring during the interim
  phase between signing and closing has dramatically increased. Part 1 of
  this session will focus on the new legal issues that have to be covered
  in due diligence when preparing for an acquisition as well as on the ne
 w tools that have become gradually available on the market to assist law
 yers in their task. We will also investigate how legal advisers can play
  a key role in preventing or preparing the new owner-to-be and the targe
 t to better face future legal constraints or risks that are coming their
  way. Part 2 of this session will review what process can be set up to m
 aintain a close watch on possible issues occurring between signing and c
 losing\, and the solutions to address these risks.
