Practical M&A Treatise: 2023 Edition is Here!
I recently finished the annual update for my Practical M&A Treatise – which is, among other things, America’s only M&A treatise born in a Siesta Key patio bar! This 822-page resource covers a broad range of topics, including the mechanics of an M&A transaction, documentation, disclosure, tax, accounting, antitrust, contractual transfer restrictions, successor liability, antitakeover & fiduciary duties of directors and controlling stockholders. The new edition adds over 70 pages of material, and features updates addressing:
– The latest in Delaware appraisal rights actions, including case law on appraisal waivers and the implications of changes in target value between signing and closing;
– Recent Delaware case law interpreting “efforts clauses” and addressing the use and limitation of disclosure schedules;
– Developments in officer liability and in aiding and abetting claims arising out of M&A transactions;
– Developments in “controlling stockholder” transactions, including refinements in Delaware’s approach to the standard of review for third party sales; and
– The continuing evolution in antitrust merger review and enforcement.
The Practical M&A Treatise is available online as part of a DealLawyers.com membership. It’s also incorporated into our “Deal U Workshop” – an essential online course for M&A novices, with nearly 60 podcasts and 30+ situational scenarios to test your knowledge.
