(1) the economy is heavily reliant on the progression of the private sector; (2)lawyers can support...

    Good evening all. What resources did everyone use to really dig deep into M&A and specifically a lawyers role in it? I have gone through the commercial law handbook and TCLA's mini-course - but I still feel like I have a very superficial understanding. Are there any resources that really go...

    @George Maxwell Hi George, I have my HSF AC tomorrow and I am incredibly scared. I am mostly scared about the scenario interview. I am non-law, how much law knowledge did you need within your interview?

    Thank you all! Very helpful ( I love this community)!! I did some more research and I found also that 1) employment contracts, for example, may need to be renegotiated 2) Need to re-title the individual assets 3) Target board is needed to approve the transaction

    I have a question - i read that an asset purchase is more complex than a share purchase? why is this? I had initially assumed that, for example, the DD for an asset purchase would be easier because there are just less stuff to consider and attention can be more focused?
