Mergers & Acquisitions
M&A is an integral component of corporate strategy. Virtually all companies face situations, whether occasionally or
repeatedly, where they need to make strategic decisions regarding the acquisition of a company or the disposal of their own
operating units.
In the course of this seminar, we will discuss strategic considerations relating to acquisitions and divestments and
will examine the whole M&A process from initiating to concluding a transaction. Throughout the seminar, case studies
will be used to illustrate the topics covered, with numerous examples drawn from real-life situations. Key components of the
course will include the valuation of targets, financial structuring, due diligence, legal and tax structuring of transactions
and the negotiation process. There will also be enough time for discussions and to share experiences.
After participating in our seminar, you will be able to understand the most important stages in successfully concluding an
M&A transaction. In addition, you will be in a position to make an active contribution to your company’s corporate finance
strategy and to manage the M&A process successfully through all business cycles.
