Documents about mergers and acquisitions m&a with a pen.
In the Jaspan Schlesinger LLP Corporate/Commercial Transactions Practice Group, I advise clients in many mid-cap mergers and acquisitions transactions.  The Group represents both buyers and sellers in these exit/change of control transactions. Last year, I moderated a five-part mergers and acquisitions Boot Camp webinar series. Each of the five installments of that Boot Camp focused on a different aspect of M&A transactions. My favorite installment addressed a transaction’s process generally. During last year’s Boot Camp…
