Navigating Key Cross-Border M&A Deal Terms for In-House Counsel
Event Description
Cross-border M&A is complex and represents a growing percentage of the global M&A deal market. Just like the businesses in which they invest, strategic and financial acquirors are no longer limited by artificial jurisdictional boundaries and are instead looking for returns all around the world.
Buyers who are investing outside of their home markets, and sellers and other stakeholders involved in those investments, are required to navigate competing laws, market norms and regulatory regimes, not to mention language, culture and time zones. Having competent advisors is critical.
Join us on Thursday, July 20, 2023 at 12pm ET/9am PT for the next edition of our M&A Deep Dives Series, as Clifford Chance’s M&A Partners Benjamin Sibbett, Sarah Jones, Christoph Holstein, and Katherine Moir, will provide a comparative overview of key deal terms across private M&A markets in each region.
Discussion topics include:
- Material adverse change clauses
- Drafting Reps and Warranties Clauses
- Financing Conditions,
- Non-Competes, and more!
