Hey,

Let’s face the facts. 

If you want to break into or excel in corporate transactional practice, M&A deals are a HUGE part of it. 

…Where crores of rupees change hands in a matter of minutes!

It’s what the Harvey Specters and Mike Rosses of the real world specialise in.

Yes, it’s extremely glamorous.

Yes, it’s lucrative beyond imagination.

Yes, it’s highly competitive—most NLU students gravitate towards this field.

And even if you start working in a top-tier law firm (you are lucky!), chances are that you will probably end up getting pegged into a particular task and not get all-round exposure to the M&A world.

You might be more into drafting shareholders agreements but what about knowing how to handle disputes or understanding tax structuring of such deals?

You might be more into governmental regulations and compliance but what about the workings of leveraged buyouts?

The more you have all-round experience in mergers and acquisitions, the better are your chances of succeeding in the corporate legal field.

LawSikho, in collaboration with the Maharashtra National Law University and the International Chamber of Commerce – International Court of Arbitration, brings to you a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity to meet some of the most eminent M&A lawyers in this country—and learn about the ins and outs of mergers and acquisitions right from the daily grinds of their legal practice. 

Real-life, practical insights from the masters who live and breathe M&A daily.

We present to you our exclusive M&A Workshop to be held at the Powai campus of MNLU, on 14th and 15th March 2020 from 10:00 A.M. onwards. 

(Note: Further details are to be found in the brochure)

Who is this workshop for?

Though this workshop can be attended by anyone, most interested participants would fall in one of the following categories:

• In house counsels in technology and e-commerce companies or other companies with regular M&A activities (Google, Facebook, Amazon, Uber etc.)
• Entrepreneurs and directors who want to master legal aspects of raising capital 

What would you gain from this workshop?
