Getting it done! Optimising the deal timeline and effectively managing the interim period
Wednesday 7 October (1615 - 1730)
Committee(s)
Corporate and M&A Law Committee
(Lead)
Description
As regulatory reviews increase uncertainty and the potential duration between the signing and closing of M&A deals, this panel will explore practical strategies for both target companies and buyers to optimise deal timelines while effectively managing the interim period. Counsel from jurisdictions around the world will compare strategies for addressing these risks, including a discussion of key, and often unique, contract provisions that can enable attorneys to assist their clients in managing the interim period and mitigating risks to deal counterparties during the pendency of an M&A deal.
