How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?
excellent panels
The course was very good. I wish that there could be a separate course, perhaps in a prior day, that was more practically oriented. For example, that course could cover new technology that is available for use in a mergers and acquisitions practice, new and improved forms or drafting possibilities and billing practices and good ideas for educating the clients in advance of the merger and acquisition, in a context for mergers and acquisitions that are smaller in size and purchase price.
good course
As usual, excellent speakers on most topics.

Stepping Into the Void: Current Energy Dealmaking Considerations (Nov 2023)
In the wake of the exodus of certain institutional investors and traditional lenders from the oil and gas sector—due to ESG and other regulatory and political headwinds—newer sources of capital, including family offices, see this as an opportunity to take advantage of perceived outsized returns. Often, however, the goals and dynamics of these new capital sources conflict with those of traditional energy investors and management. Hear how to navigate these issues and other considerations, regardless of on which side of the negotiation table you sit.
