Cross-Border M&A Forum: Investing in Europe

As the M&A market continues to strengthen and cross-border activity accelerates, industry participants are actively exploring new opportunities outside of their home markets as core to their strategic growth plans.

Join us for a panel discussion featuring Clifford Chance practitioners, who will offer perspectives from Europe and the United States on cross-border M&A through the US/European investment corridor, with a focus on US outbound investment.

You will also hear from Alison O’Neill, Vice President and Chief Counsel, Strategic Transactions & Digital at Pfizer, who will join us for a fireside chat. Alison leads the company’s most significant M&A, licensing, and partnership deals globally. She will discuss how successfully navigating cross-border M&A requires practical, actionable legal advice, adaptability to local regulations and cultures, and strong communication to help teams operate confidently outside their home markets.

This event is open to legal, corporate development, financial and other M&A advisory teams, and is appropriate for all levels of experience.

US CLE credit is pending.
