Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity is increasing. Yet the volatile nature of these deals requires professionals to truly understand the foundations of M&A in order to get the best value for their business and client. Done successfully, corporate transactions can redefine companies. However, the challenges are complex.

You’ll examine the various types of deals, including private M&A, hostile takeovers and their defences against hostile takeovers, private equity transactions, as well as hedge fund activism. The course draws on financial and economic theory and real-world case studies to offer a practical and holistic overview of the key drivers and frameworks of transactions, highlighting the jurisdictional discrepancies across the UK, US, and EU member states.
