Structuring M&A Transactions is an authoritative, insider s perspective on key strategies for structuring mergers and acquisitions transactions to maximize the economics of a deal. Featuring partners and shareholders from some of the nation s leading firms, these experts guide the reader through the different phases of M&A deals and the key considerations for each phase. These top lawyers reveal their insights on carrying out proper due diligence, conducting negotiations, developing business integration plans, managing risk, and complying with appropriate rules and regulations for each transaction. From purchase price to indemnification provisions, the authors address the most important financial implications of mergers and acquisitions law for any size company from the perspective of both the buyer and the seller. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to successful transactions within this complex area of law. Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world s most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
