About the Program
This one-hour program will address the role of in-house counsel in private mergers & acquisition (“M&A”) transactions and, specifically, their ability to enhance the value of a deal to their client. By virtue of being deeply familiar with their companies and being business partners, as well as lawyers, in-house counsel have the ability to add value at every step of a transaction—be it transaction planning and valuation, due diligence, contract negotiation, or post-closing integration. The speakers will discuss ways for in-house counsel to contribute to the success of an M&A transaction involving a privately held company, emphasizing certain differences between buyer and seller. They will provide practical advice to in-house counsel related to transaction preparation and structuring, due diligence, purchase price negotiation, risk allocation (including R&W insurance), and post-transaction covenants.
Speakers:
- Masha Trainor, Partner, Blank Rome
- Marie Batz Martin, Executive Vice President, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary at FlightSafety International Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway company
