Practical M&A Treatise: 2024 Edition is Here!
John has recently put the finishing touches on the annual update for the Practical M&A Treatise. This 848-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 features updates on:
– Delaware case law addressing the terms of acquisition agreements, including interpretive issues relating to language defining assumed and retained liabilities, and the implications of an unqualified representation on a buyer’s ability to terminate a transaction
– Fiduciary duties of directors, officers and controlling stockholders, poison pills, disclosure issues and standards of review
– The continuing evolution of the Rep & Warranty Insurance market and its implications for claims under RWI policies
– The status of sale of business non-competes in Delaware and the implications of the FTC’s proposed limitations on non-competes
– The impact of the first year under the universal proxy card rules on proxy contests
– The evolving antitrust regulatory and enforcement environment, and developments under the federal securities laws, including the lessons from the first year under the universal proxy rules
