Course Description
Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions of private companies are very different from public company transactions. This course explores the structuring and negotiating of private deals by strategic (another company) and financial (private equity) purchasers through detailed discussion of and exercises focused on actual transactions. The goal is to give students exposure to and experience editing/negotiating documents for each stage of an acquisition. Active class discussions will limit the amount of homework required to reach the teaching objectives for the course. So please be prepared to participate in class
