Oil & Gas M&A in Today's Market: It's Complicated

With volatile commodity prices and ever-tightening capital markets, the days of simple all-cash M&A deals in the Oil & Gas industry are dead. Industry players are getting creative (or desperate) in structuring deals when acquiring or selling interests. Joint ventures, preferred equity investments and more complexity is the flavor of the day. Our panel discusses how these trends affect specific provisions in purchase agreements, LLC agreements and other transaction documents.

More Mock Negotiation... Plus a Salute to the Strine Era in M&A
