Join leading M&A professionals, sponsors and speakers, including investment bankers, private equity investors, corporate investors, hedge fund managers, and other legal and financial practitioners at the Ritz Carlton Dallas for the 2011 Mergers and Acquisitions Institute.
The 2011 program examines the latest deal trends, structures, pitfalls and opportunities from the perspectives of corporate dealmakers, private equity investors, public companies and in-house M&A counsel. This year's program also includes special sessions on:
• Getting directors ready for the sale process
• Contractual limits on seller liabilities in M&A agreements
• State-of-the-art deal protections, plus a litigator's look at deal provisions
• Distressed asset sales and purchases: cutting deals with senior lenders and co-opting the sales process
• Finding the fault line: the role of investment bankers in M&A deals
• New investment horizons: agriculture and water
The program includes A-list speakers and sponsors drawn from investment banking, private equity, law firms and financial and advisory communities from Texas, New York and California, and offers substantial opportunities for networking and conversation at breaks and Thursday's networking luncheon and reception.
