Taught by a practicing attorney with experience representing individuals, organizations, or businesses in the mergers and acquisitions space, the course examines the contractual and regulatory frameworks that govern mergers and acquisitions transactions. Students will review and draft agreements, analyze business and regulatory arrangements, and conduct legal research using approaches that reflect current professional practice in the field. The course emphasizes practical skills and strategies used by lawyers advising individuals, businesses, and organizations in mergers and acquisitions matters. LAW-3410 Business Practicum Seminar is a required co-requisite for students enrolled in a Business Law Practicum and provides foundational training in transactional lawyering skills such as contract drafting and review, risk identification, professional collaboration, and client communication. Students must take the seminar when enrolling in their first Business Law Practicum, but it only needs to be completed once; students who have already taken the seminar may enroll in additional practicums without repeating it.
