LAW 856LEC - Acquisitions Transactions

This course will examine the legal, financial and practical aspects of transactions relating to the purchase of business entities. One component of the course will be background concepts and substantive knowledge in the areas of finance and law which impact the decisions of the key participants in these transactions. We will also review documents generated in an actual finance transaction. Throughout the course, we will examine the relationship between the concepts explored and the documents which reflect the final deal reached by the parties to the transaction. Students who intend to complete the Finance Transactions Concentration are required to satisfactorily complete this course with a minimum grade of B. This course is also open for enrollment by students who do not intend to complete this Concentration. There are no formal prerequisites for this course. However, a background knowledge of business and finance issues would be useful. Students without this background are welcome, but they may need to do additional reading to fully participate in the class.
