Oil & Gas M&A in Today's Market: It's Complicated (Oct 2019)
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 (Nov 2019)
The panelists will engage in an illustrative negotiation to shed light on one of the most contentious provisions in the definitive agreement for the acquisition of a privately held company – the closing condition addressing the buyer’s ability to walk away from an announced deal because of inaccurate representations by the seller. They will devote the remainder of their session to a discussion of the lessons M&A practitioners have learned from retiring Delaware Chief Justice Leo Strine over the course of his two decades as a Delaware judge.

Revenge of the Sea Squirts: More Glenn West on Encrusted M&A Boilerplate (Nov 2019)
The need to understand and appropriately modify “standard” M&A boilerplate to fit your deal cannot be over emphasized. Glenn West builds on last year’s presentation and adds additional examples of the problems that unexamined/encrusted boilerplate can create in potentially undoing the specifically negotiated provisions of your deal.
