How to buy a bank in Europe - Commonalities, discrepancies and best practices
Thursday 2 February (1600 - 1700)
Description
Some M&A practitioners refer to the due diligence of a bank as the ‘mother of all due diligences’. Admittedly, buying a bank is truly the archetype of acquiring a regulated business. There are peculiarities and unique challenges en route. The panel will elaborate on those challenges and shed some light on the commonalities and the nasty differences across jurisdictions.
