Today’s Webcast (Jan. 12): Causes and Economic Consequences of Merger & Acquisition Disputes

By Securities Docket on January 12, 2010, 10:33 am

The downturn in the economy has been a factor in recent disputes arising from business acquisitions. Some involve a failure to close a transaction, but many are over claims of fraud, misrepresentation or breach of warranties or covenants after a transaction has closed. In these types of disputes, the most important question is whether a party will be entitled to seek damages and, if so, the manner in which the damages are to be measured. After the dust settles, however, other questions arise, including: how did we get here and how can we prevent this in the future?

The webcast will provide background on the legal and transactional issues that must be considered during negotiations, drafting of the transactional documents, closing and beyond and an overview of the various legal, accounting, and valuation aspects of disputes over misrepresentations, breaches, earnouts and post-closing adjustments. Discussion will include a case study covering the legal and financial aspects in quantifying damages in an M&A dispute.

Please join our panelists Michael Conway, Principal and Jacob Smith, Associate, in Grippo & Elden’s Litigation Practice; and Jeff Litvak, Senior Managing Director, and Nicole Wells, Director in FTI’s Forensic and Litigation Consulting Practice as they address these issues as well as your questions.

To attend this webcast scheduled for today, Tuesday, January 12, at 2 pm Eastern, please sign up below. ***CLE credit available in Illinois for live presentation.***
