Description
Taught by Jeff Crough and Michael Holmes.
Business Associations is a recommended prerequisite.
This course will provide an introduction to litigating and navigating disputes between counterparties to merger and acquisition agreements. Led by Michael Holmes – who has successfully tried some of the most high-stakes Delaware M&A disputes of recent years – the course will cover the major doctrines, as well as strategic and tactical considerations. Aspiring transactional attorneys and litigators will develop a useful framework for understanding (and hopefully avoiding) areas of potential disputes. Business Associations is a recommended prerequisite.
There is no textbook. The instructors will assign cases, treatises, articles, and other reading materials on a module-by-module basis.
