Are you aware of the key differences in the rules, deal structures and timetables applicable to public M&A in major jurisdictions?

When executing public M&A transactions, dealmakers must understand local market practice as well as the local regulatory environment. In our Public M&A Spotlight white paper, we compare deal structures and timetables and provide a summary of the specific rules governing important areas such as deal protection/defensive measures, due diligence, funding, conditions, mandatory bids, pricing, acting in concert as well as the penalties for non-compliance for the following jurisdictions:

  • The United States
  • The United Kingdom
  • France
  • Germany
  • Hong Kong

We recently held a Cross-Border M&A teleconference on Acquiring Public Companies in Other Major Jurisdictions. To listen to the audio recording, please follow the link below.
