Description
This session, popularly known as the M&A café, is dedicated to international M&A lawyers looking to hone their craft and meet new M&A contacts from around the world. It will involve 10 roundtables and five topics, with moderators knowledgeable on each topic guiding the conversation at the table. Unlike panel discussions, the format is highly interactive and conducive to engaging in meaningful conversation, sharing the experiences of peers and exchanging contacts, with or without coffee. Every 30 minutes, participants will rotate to another table, providing the opportunity to discuss two topics of interest, meet at least 30 new M&A lawyers from around the world and build their network.
Table topics:
- Evolution of the due diligence exercise
- Current trends in FDI and merger control in cross-border M&A
- Impact of AI on dealmaking
- How is geopolitics shaping the M&A market?
- Current trends in private equity transactions
