Tulane’s M&A Conference Will Continue!
Good news from Saturday’s WSJ: “It wasn’t a sure thing after the destruction and despair of Hurricane Katrina, but with a big dose of civic bonhomie, they’re going to make it happen: Bankers, lawyers, judges, proxy solicitors and others who make their living doing, dealing with or adjudicating mergers and acquisitions will meet in New Orleans in late March for the 18th Tulane University Corporate Law Institute.
The confabbing crew is committed to the city’s rebirth — and Tulane could use a show of support, too, as the school recently said it’s cutting 230 faculty jobs and paring $100 million from its annual budget. Slated to speak are Texas Pacific Group chief David Bonderman, a gaggle of Delaware corporate jurists, and some keen legal minds. Among the topics: conflicts between shareholders and directors, scrutiny of investment banking and the future of private equity.”
Tulane’s campus will open next month for business – the 18th Annual Corporate Law Institute is set for March 23-24th at the New Orleans Wyndham Canal Place Hotel. Good to hear that Hurricane Katrina didn’t kill this fine event!
