Description
Uncertainty was once poisonous for mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Recently, M&A has proven to be more and more resilient to bad news. Slow growth? Hard Brexit? Trade wars? Real estate bubbles? Never mind. Nevertheless, in the face of those developments deal terms and concerns have evolved over time, and so has the role of the deal lawyer. This session will look at some of the latest trends and developments in European private M&A, including: • Data protection: who is throwing the first stone? • Boris, Brussels and bad hair days • The versatile M&A lawyer: bridging the gap between courtroom and boardroom • What comes after LIBOR? • Developments in transaction structuring and deal terms
