This special topics course will feature lectures and student-centered activities, focusing on cross-border M&A operations from non-binding offers to sale agreements. The students will be instructed and led by experts in M&A transactions, and the activities will be taught from a common law perspective. A strong emphasis of the course will be an experiential learning component that will include the implementation of a moot competition dividing students into 'Vendor Team' and 'Buyer Team' to simulate real-world M&A negotiations and presentations. The teams will be tasked with creating persuasive arguments, negotiating terms, and producing documents relevant to a cross-border M&A transaction.
